You are in a very good position by having a visa based on ur profession...Why do u want to go through all the hassle of being the spouse of EU spouse dependent...After two years you will get Stamp 4 and you will no more need HSE to sponsor you.
Yes, the doors are open to you to apply for a residence card based on ur EU spouse, but its a tricky track, where ur wife should have a job all the way down and still DOJ will find a way to turn down ur Permanent Residence card after 5 years.
I would advise to stay on ur current visa for two years and than you will get Stamp 4 any way...Yes i know u will have to pay 300 euros but it's worth....Ur choice....ur life...
