I've checked your lodestone, it seems like your accessories are not max melded. It's still possible to craft those tokens but it's highly recommended that you at least maxmeld the CP stats on most if not all gears so you won't risk running out of CP. Since you managed to get HQ with your usual rotation, you should be able to keep doing it til you get the artisan spectacle (then your desired artisan tool).

As for Ixali gloves vs maxmelded ilvl55 gloves, you gain 3 control but loses 3 CP. that little control gain doesn't make much difference and you will need as much CP possible but won't hurt to use it until you get the melded glove. Hope this helps.
