You're not going to run duties at all at this point, because you hate running duties as far as I'm aware. So getting the gear to make running duties faster is also a moot point. If all you like doing in this game is crafting and gaming the marketboard, then better gear obviously doesn't help with that.

EDIT: Better battlecraft gear, I should say.

You have a whole other branch of progression wholly unique to crafters and gatherers as well. If your stances are as you say they are, then DoL/DoH progression should matter much more to you than DoW/DoM.
Too much of this game's content is tied to combat to go down that road. MSQ, new duties and new raids, I need decent gear if I'm going to experience them. Since I don't endlessly repeat duties and raids, I don't really benefit from those reward systems and my less experience with those raids and duties require me to go in with better gear so as to not be that much of a burden to the team.
