So the neat thing about 'dual' cores is that they can add an extra rune slot to your equipment.  With the crafting change, how will this affect crafted gear since all crafted gear will have a default of 2 rune slots?
 
For instance:
1) a refined core will craft a 2 slot item with the possibility to upgrade it to 3.
2) a dual core can craft a 3 slot (2 plus chance at extra) with the possibility to upgrade it to 4?
 
 
Also, Carbine originally had the intention to craft raid quality gear.  Will there be raid quality cores that will tack on an additional base # of rune slots to correlate with that level of gear?  Or has this mechanic been scrapped all together and gone the way of the dodo?

			Just finished leveling Weaponsmith on the PTR, in order to see the CW-5 schematics you can find in GA.  We will be crafting raid quality gear, once you get around to getting the schematic drop.

			While interested in the plans, more curious how 'dual' cores are going to affect the crafting change.  Post em' when ya; get em'

just gonna necro this with a CRB response from another thread:
 
"There may still be ways (certain power cores, designer-set overrides) that allow for more runes. What is discussed in the OP is the default, baseline rune counts."

the way i interpret this is: dual core + 2 types of flux capacitors = timetravel to the days of 4 socket crafted items. and thats even with 4 good sockets, without spending 10+ plat on mats, and hours at the crafting station.

Yep, sounds like you can get 4 slots if you crafted using a dual power core, and you've upgraded with the +1 slot item. 
 
That's a buff to crafted gear, but it will be behind adventure/dungeon gear, which now can get 5 slots consistently (assuming the +1 slot item isn't ridiculously difficult to obtain, of course).
