v71 (July 2018) half-apex is about the best you can get, although you can probably disable the apex quest for the apex classes? You would have to tweak the damage of their other skills too since they were balanced around it at the time, obviously. This uses Frostmetal -> Stormcry -> Heroic Oath+0 gearing system. Old interface, no level 70 stuff. Endgame dungeons would be RKE, AAH, Harrowhold, and it was a few months before Bahaar release.
But in theorycrafting this I just realized the apex classes also had some changes to their non-apex skills, anticipating they would be doing the apex stuff. I don't remember off the top of my head what those were or if that would break those classes.
