Grandfathered
Since this thread has sort-of become about upgrades too...
Going through the list of unknowns that I have on the quick start guide and comparing them against us.battle.net item database...open the quote for inline notes for each item
Also Wicked Blackjack - which has been confirmed to drop and upgrade - also matches. That was one of the somewhat odd cases where I wasn't sure if the data would match up.
[doublepost=1554334400,1554334279][/doublepost]Side note, is Gloomshroud Armor really grandfathered? I've just been under the impression that its stupidly rare...but I don't think I recall seeing anyone brag about a drop for a long time and http://us.battle.net/wow/en/item/1489 has no source listed...
Then again, same for http://us.battle.net/wow/en/item/5744 - which we know drops. So not sure that the drop sources is accurate...though the upgrade status seems to match everything so far...

Currently dungeon items do NOT upgrade. Some items seem to be classified as dungeon drops - and so they won't upgrade. We're not always sure why - but we haven't seen ANY epic versions, but it would be expected by now.
