Is gearing up worth it ?

Current speculation is we will not be getting new armor this next patch but may get accessories both crafted and scrip.

I think there will be new gatherable items in 4.4 and that will be when we get new armor.

You'll likely need full i320 if you intend on crafting the new DoH gear yourself, due to the stat requirements it'll have.

Not really sure where this speculation is coming from, since 4.4 will be adding the next set of crafted DoW/M gear (4-star recipes), along with a new stat requirement to reach to craft those.
If they only add new accessories in 4.3, they won't be able to do a significant increase in stats for the 4-star recipe requirement.

SE has been handling new DoH/L sets in mostly the same way, ever since the patch that added the Ironworks DoH/L set:

3.3 (Ironworks) -> 3.4 (Alexander Savage / new DoW/M sets)
4.0 (i290 DoH)/4.01 (yellow scrips) -> 4.05 (Deltascape Savage)
4.1 (Ala Mhigan) -> 4.2 (Sigmascape Savage / new DoW/M sets)

The general pattern here is that SE gives crafters enough time to prepare themselves to craft the new DoW/M sets when those see the most use, at the start of a new Savage raid.
