So, I'd say there are plenty of reasons to go with the crafted ILvl 70 gear over anything you can get in dungeons other than Binding Coil of Bahamut. Now, the cost of crafting these items is a completely different discussion and every player won't find that it's worth the trouble.
They do bind once you fight mob lvl higher than ilvl (currently only in Coil). But if you don't wear them inside Coil you can sell them later.
