Stuff you said

Don't buy accessories, atleast not right away. They give you the smallest gains. Weapons will likely give you the largest ones, and really even the I130 weapon from Tomb/Fiber will last you. This late in the game, I'd just take the weapon and farm a body from WOD. the WOD body gives you better DPS than Ironworks, and WOD gear makes it easier to get a 9 hit Beserk if you choose Warrior (lots of Skill speed there, aim for 376+)

It's a little "Cheaper" to go Paladin, cause the weapon costs only 7 tokens vs. 10... and you can get a shield from turn 12.

In any case... I'd just get a weapon, then make a decision whether you wanna be a PLD or Warrior, and whether you see yourself as an OT or MT. Off Tanks will focus more on giving max dps out at the expense of survivability... (unless you go i110 pentameld accessories)... while Maintanks may value Parry a bit more. ALso generally Warriors value Parry less than Paladin, since Parry + Shield is a little more valuable than Parry alone.

Either way.. Accessories should be your lowest priority... you'll get most of them from turn 10 and 11 anyhow for fending, I'd personally choose a secondary job to loot to get slaying accessories, so you can weave them in when you find a comfortable HP number for your group. (For me 10200 for War solo 10500 party hp w/ Defiance as OT).
