Best way to increase Gearscore after 8300?

So, after hitting 8300 Gearscore i did some of the t2 dungeons serveral times (Spider, Pirate, Spellplague) and found HUGE upgrades to my current gear.
And by huge i mean: Fugitive's Necklace of Revolt instead of a minor one. It has a whooping 4 more points of each stat.
Gearscore skyrockets. /irony
Sadly most groups are not willing to take guys with 8300 gearscore into the harder dungeons (well, i can understand that, everyone wants to have a smooth ride)

So how what is the best way to increase my gearscore? Put rank 5 enchants in all the t1 stuff? (Hesitating a little bit to do this, because i don't want to waste enchants)

Take into account:
I'm loosing ~ 85% of my need rools (Person X won with a 72. You rolled a 3), so the DD Chest is pretty much the only thing i can get gear from.

    well since i dont find any items to make AD (and dont have enough to flip the AH), buying this extremly expensive good cw gear is somewhat out of my range.

    Mate you dont need much to gear in this game. I'm using 2 piece glad, 2 piece +400 crit (no real reason) and then a bunch of t1/2 rings/ammy. Get some decent purple pants and a shirt an you'll be over 10k gs like I am and completing castle never

    Here was my path to 10k gearscore playing casually over the last 5-6 days since I hit 60:

    - Bought all 6 pieces of Gladiator gear the second I hit 60
    - Purchased 1 myself with glory I had accumulated while leveling
    - Offered to buy other pieces for 10g each or 15k diamonds and was flooded with incoming tells

    - Ran T1 dungeons for 1 single night and was able to afford both rings and necklace with seals
    - Ran T1 dungeons a few more times the next night and got my belt

    - Slotted all gear with Rank 5 enchants
    - Slotted weapon with Lesser Plaguefire Enchant
    - Did not slot armor enchant

    This put me to about 9200-9300 GS.

    From here... I made sure I was always in Protector's Enclave about 10 minutes before a Dungeon Delve event started. Found myself groups that would run 2x DDs. Usually fly through a T1 and then run a T2. The items I got in the DD chest I would sell on the AH. Some as low as 5k diamonds, some as much as 80k diamonds.

    I used this money to buy a blue shirt and purple pants which jacked up my gearscore.

    I used additional diamonds I got from the DD events to purchase a weapon with the T2 dmg stats on it (can't remember the name... cost me 27,000).

    This put me to 9850 GS and I had hit a wall where I had to either spend $$ to buy diamonds to buy T2 or I had to just run T2s which seemed up and down. Sometimes horribly messy and sometimes easy (I mostly run with PUGs).

    I ran about 5 T2s over the weekend and got 1 item, Shadow Weaver Chestpiece, which has now boosted me to over 10k GS. I will probably slowly farm the rest and use my drake seals for rings/belt/neck again while selling extra pieces to fund my enchantments which are obscenely overpriced.
