I'd tweak the order of your attended run:

emerge -DuN world
emerge @preserved-rebuild
emerge --depclean
revdep-rebuild


The logic is:

Rebuild busted packages that portage already knows about
(@preserved-rebuild), then get rid of oudated packages and finally
revdep-rebuild to fix anything that --depclean broke.

@preserved-rebuild is getting very good at what it does lately
(supported in all recent portage version including stable IIRC), as is
--depclean, so revdep-rebuild seldom finds anything to do these days.
