Ironworks vs WoD

[CodeCass]

While wod gear may not be bis it serves as a great filler until you can upgrade ironworks gear.

So another silly question: how exactly do I go about upgrading any Ironworks gear I get? And could anyone tell me what I should be looking at acquiring first? For example; should I focus on getting the Ironworks headpiece first, or maybe getting all the accessories? And should I try and upgrade the Ironworks as I acquire them, or get what I need first, then go back and upgrade?

As for what I'm currently trying to accomplish: I'm mostly just wanting to wrap up the story, and feel comfortable with the iLevel of my gear so that I'll feel more or less up-to-date come Expansion time. I don't necessarily have to have everything BiS at the present, but I would like to be able to start clearing EX Primals and whatnot, and maybe in the future work on some Coil.
