I burned some motes to fully upgrade it.

I knew you could donate motes to factions to increase rep - but I didn't realize you could use motes as exp. Where do I do this?

Go to your inventory, hover over Motes of Light, hold X, profit.

It only gives exp to your gear, not to your actual level, subclass, or to obtaining your next motes of light.
