Two questions about crafted gear

[Iscah]

So... Day 1 gear would mean people are getting all through the MSQ and leveling a crafter/gatherer to Lv80, all on day 1? That sounds ridiculously intense.

(I assume it's at least a team effort and everybody picks one class and shares the crafting. But still.)

Based on the past two expansions, they'll release the first masterbooks and 1-star level 80 gear the same time as the 8-man raids, which will be at least 2 weeks after the expansion. It won't be difficult to have a DoH job at 80 by that point, and the top DoH gear will be level 78ish until 5.1.
