For main hand off hand, do I craft the 170 or do I farm scrips to go 180->200 for each class? Is there a main hand/offhand craft higher than the 170 gear?

I know this is a catch up patch and I've been absolutely aching to catch up for a while now, I just am not 100% sure how to go about it. (Currently grinding blue scrips for master 4 books)

Based on the stats shown on Ariyala, we will need an almost fully melded ilvl 170 set to meet the minimum requirements for Ironworks (Craftsmanship: 870; Control: 835). You can substitute food to avoid a little melding, but not much. Unless I'm misinterpreting something, this makes the ilvl 180 set completely worthless if not upgraded. You won't be able to meet the requirements with it. So preparation is to use red scrips for the old ilvl 170 set and meld either or use red scrips to upgrade the ilvl 180 set and work your way back.
