For your second point, afaik Sands and Unidentified Stones will drop from the new CT in 2.3, which will make getting Liberator *MUCH* easier than getting Novus, which really makes the Novus kind of an odd "upgrade" at the moment.
Actually they only referenced that Sands and Oil of Time will drop from the new CT. No mention of Unidentified Allagan Tomestones. Who knows what will happen though. So it's not as odd of an upgrade with that in mind (just really really time consuming). Now future content can certainly make it an odd upgrade depending on weapon ilvls.

You can find the question and answer here from the last Q&A:
