All that without stepping into HC raid or doing anything more than +8 keys. Eventually you get all you need.
And then, of course you have valor. You holding to your capped valor like your dear life is part of your problem.
Use your valor, it resets next season, which is in 2 months or so. Upgrade your weapon and best pieces, instead of letting it rot there. What you got to lose there?
I, personally, think at this point they could have made WQs drop 210, because this patch has 2 months left or so and 210 is nothing to write home about anyway. But it's not like you truly don't have options, even if none of them are "instant".
Other than that, it's a community issue. Raid pugs requiring gear that is effectively better than what raid drops is nothing new and frankly same goes about your idea that you can't do +10 as ilvl 200. Not much Blizz can do with that one.
