If you plan on rushing the new DoH set, you'll mostly just be making money by crafting said new DoH/L sets and selling them to other crafters/gatherers. The recipes that require having this new set won't be coming until 4.4, with the introduction of the 4-star DoW/M armor.

A pterodactyl whispered in my ear last night... that a critical raw mat of the new "hypothetical" crafting gear will likely be earned from the beast tribes. This means that, even if you wanna rush it, you can't... unless you have many alts, all doing the beast tribe every day.
If Heavensward is any indication, chances are that desynthesis will see a return. While glass fibers were obtained through the moogle beast tribe, they were much faster to obtain by desynthing the i180 scrip gear.
