Hi, welcome to VT.
The best way to travel around is by taxi. They're not expensive. Airport taxis have a AED20 surcharge, then the fare is metered. The shops generally don't open until about 10am, so there's no hurry to get to Bur Dubai. Bur Dubai, Karama and Lamcy are all in the same area, City Centre mall is back not far from the airport.
I haven't shopped at the outlet mall so I don't know what their prices are like.

Well from airport there is a bus service that you can use for real cheap (maybe $ 1 to BurDubai). You can get off in or near Karama shopping center. Taxi ride from Dubai to outlet mall and back could cost you anything between 180 to 220 AED so just calculate if the cheap prices there overweight the fare of taxi. Good luck and happy shopping.

You could go to Lamcy PLaza first... they are the only shopping mall in Dubai that opens already at 9am (as Colin said, all other places open at 10am)
