Isn't that more or less what I'm saying in regards to the next set for crafters and gatherers coming out in 4.3? The BiS gear for DoL/H tends to come out before the last set of craftable combat gear (which will be 4.4). IIRC the Mogmenders came out as a tribe in 3.3, and crafters wanted to have that Ironworks gear, with melds, before the very next patch came out.
