What is the "Best" gear Now?

I'm a CW oppressor and was wondering what the "new" best gear is?

obviously Artifact weapon and Belt...
But what about the rest?
Still Ancient gear?
Still Black ice?
or in my case, still High vizier?
or have we moved on to something else?

Something that drops in Lair of Lostmauth?
Draconic gear?

This is all pretty important information because I need to know what gear to finalize my character with. Purchasers of the dragon born pack get 1 time use unique armor enhancments. So it would be nice to put it on the Biggiest baddest stuff in the game as of right now :D

I realize on live people havn't reached the dungeon mentioned above. but perhaps someone on preview has.

What "IS" the best gear set to have Gearscore wise?
What "IS" the best utility gear Set for my spec?
What "IS" the best gear set in general for everyone to be upgrading too?

Dragon keys... whats with these? Do I need them to get exclusive drops in dungeons? or do they just gaurentee a elusive drop that can be otherwise aquired?
Dragon drops? I've yet to see anything but coins and gems, anyone got any information on that topic?
is draconic gear considered T2.5? like Black ice? both of them have overload slots...

    the keys can be "crafted" via the top level tasks in the campaign window, the tasks for skirmish and dungeon keys are available once you unlock their respective challenge, the zen keys open the chest at the end of either run.

    Ancient vs artifact weapons.. meh. I'm not sure yet if the at-will bonus is worth losing the stat bonus of ancient gear. I'll know once I drop one.

    Artifact weapons are pretty much a sidegrade(just as good) or direct upgrade(much better) once you get it to epic rarity. Legendary is above and beyond, boasting a massive amount of stats(specifically the base damage). The value goes up as you slot higher ranked enchantments into the second offensive slot.

    I thought the collections page said is was T3.

    Though preview server player said the draconic gear was mostly sidegrade, not upgrade.

    The fact that gear, rather than enchants, has been time-gated behind special keys means that you either grind for who knows how many weeks/months, or you pay cash for extra and better chances at the gear (or so I've heard/read).
    Where'd my blinky-blinky path go?
