advice on J/F and ORD-DXB-MEL

I have a lot of questions as a first time Emirates flyer.
I have no status.
I am flying ORD-DXB on a 777 and then DXB-MEL on A380
I am flying business.
There is a 14 hours layover in DXB

1. I cant get routed to fly a380 on the USA to DXB segment unless i change toi JFK, so I am on a 777.
Is the business class that bad on this flight? Will there be Wifi? Is it worth changing to JFK for a380 on the way there? Is the 777 that much worse?
2. I have 14 hours at DXB between flights.
I am happy to leave the airport and go to dxb and stay in a nice hotel.
Is there any rapid way to get out of security, immigration etc?
Is this the "dubai connect"?
Or should I pick a decent hotel?
Or would i just stay at dubai international hotel?
If I do stay at dubai international - how do i book a room in advance - or do i do that when i land? Which terminal do i book it for?
Thanks
