I couple of points would add:

You get xp from your first successful attempt at completing a real recipe and its a very good xp return, better than a set WO. So as you level up it worth making each recipe once.

They are changing the xp rewards somewhat at present. Blacksmith seems harder than outfitter, my friend was levelling outfitter faster than me in a 3 hour session we had a few days ago and we were using the same strategy, getting similar results and keeping the same pace.

My strategy right now is as follows: this balances rare rewards and xp.

As soon as I level I grab a refining and finishing batch WO, one is a easy, the other is a mod. I then complete these. By the end of it my skills are almost fully assigned.
I then grab any new recipes I have and make what is fairly easy to do.
Then I start grabbing single item moderate WO's until I hit the next level - these seem to deliver the best xp versus time spent.

The only down side here is I think I am now lacking in gear at level 11.5. Probably due to not enough batch WO's. Hopefully i can fix this by buying some crafter gear from other crafters who have outgrown it.

You get more coin from WO's based on grade you return.
