The next step of actual vertical progression would come with the level cap raise and not from gear iLevel (giving players more time to work their way up the ladder).
The Binding Coil will end, but we'll get another endgame raid in the expansion with an ilvl increase along with (more than likely) a level increase. All signs point to the expansion being released after 2.5.
