Will player level be > ilvl?

This is what most post wow mmos do when they come out with an expansion.

Conversely they could make the gear we get outside dungeons from 51-60 be iLevel 51-65, like it is now, but suddenly have the gear at 60 spike up in iLevel, rewarding players who actually got the stronger gear before the expansion by making their lives from 51-60 a bit more tolerable. We don't really know the real power disparity between a 50 and 60 character at this time, so it's anyone's guess.
