Content Gates Vs Gear Gates

No. The dungeon itself is its own separate thing. Yes it will be broadened and expanded upon in future updates and will have a self contained progression. Outside of that dungeon the only progression youll see is Blue > Green > Orange > Pink > Legendary
Inside the dungeon it will just be more and more infusions to make your character seem stronger.

Please provide a source for these claims. The recent statements seem to indicate that this is not the case.

Edit: confirmation here: Infusions can provide regular stat bonuses also, and apparently not restricted to Fractals of the Mists, either.

There is no confirmation there, there is a shaddy link with an all but fucked up image, and no Anet post to be seen...

EDIT: People are power grinding these infusions via drops found in the new cash-shop chests; probably for world first discoveries.

Now THAT is proof =D, ok so it would appear that you'll get a minor buff from infusions, which is good, and seeing as how you get them via the mystic forge... As soon as ascended gear is achievable OUTSIDE of the fractals I see no issues with it... Although I'm kinda hoping the stats on them won't scale up with the agony resistance should zeeks theory be correct...
