Will player level be > ilvl?

Ha! still have one left. Stupid post limit.

non-raid content, is currently at ilv90.
for 2,5, it will be 100, so expansion-non-raid-content, will start at 110.
while raid content will go from 130/135->150/155.

That sounds about right for the start for the dungeons. I still don't think the current raid gear will keep you through the entirety of the patch. I'm betting the dungeons around 55 will be where the gear starts switching. Unfortunately we don't have precedent for what SE is going to do.

there's different teams working on different things. it's not the same teams that program/tweak, and develop actual content. so one doesn't interfere with the other.

It requires regression testing for the other parts of the game's content, so it would be a pretty massive, application-wide, change. That's why I can't see it happening.
