Gearing is actually easier than it's ever been (outside of Timeless
Isle type catchup times hehe), if you don't mind picking out a few
world quests each day - I'm already 835 ilvl without doing any
dungeons higher than normal so far and am actually looking forward to
levelling and gearing my alts for once. 

Simply do any world quests which reward gear: as your ilvl increases,
so too does the ilvl of the quest rewards (for a time, at least, it
mostly stops around 825-830, after that only some will go higher),
plus there's a decent chance that it'll warforge up 5-10 ilvls or even
titanforge (which is when it procced a 15+ ilvl increase). I've got 2
ilvl 850 items now (the current max possible; once raids open it'll be
895, although changes of titanforging going THAT high are slim; it'll
feel like a lottery win if you ever do get one hehe), and lots 830+. 

Dungeon drops also have the chance to warforge/titanforge if you
prefer that for gearing btw, but I'd definitely take the time to do
worldquests when they offer gear for slots you have low ilvls in -
also the emissary quest (complete 4 world quests for the same faction)
was hotfixed yesterday to give a random item; mine gave 840 boots
yesterday so that seems to give a chance for decent gear too.

Also if you complete the order hall questchain that unlocks your 3rd
relic slot which is a big ilvl increase on your weapon (immediately
adds 25-30 ilvls if you have a relic to hand). I've been surprised how
well gearing went for me; when I hit 110 it looked like a pretty big
wall to get up to whatever will be required for LFR, yet as it is, 1
week later half my slots are now higher than LFR *drops*, so I guess
I'll be hoping for warforges in there - good thing I like the looks of
the LFR priest set, plus after Val'sharah seriously want Xavius's head
on a pike, so I've still got plenty motivation to go there :-P
