Hi,
I use following approach:
emerge --sync
emerge -DuavN world
dispatch-conf
emerge --depclean -pv
revdep-rebuild
glsa-check -t all
Whenever there is something changed on the way, I will start with the
world command again. Sometimes depclean will remove something world will
emerge again. I want to be on the save side for those cases.
Anyway I also seem to have orphan packages not found by depclean but not
updated by emerge -DuavN world

I would be interested to hear about your outcomes to compare the
(update)result from you when comparing:
emerge -DuavN world
emerge -aev world
emerge -DuavN --with-bdeps y world
To see if some package is needed by anything you might run equery
depends <whatever package>

Connected question: How do I quickly find all the packages that
got installed as a dependency, but which are no longer needed,
because the dependent package got removed (as an example, I'd
like to find kde-i18n, because that used to be a dependency of
kde-meta and kde-meta is no longer installed).
emerge --depclean
thanks. 200 some packages, which would be removed. Quite a
lot.
After removing stuff, a revdep-rebuild should be done, shouldn't
it?
