That is one good way to work back from the 2014 to what is required by the 2011 too!

Not sure exactly what the question is but WV is testing on 2011! To me that means they are
also inspecting on 2011.

NEC2011 is the adopted version in WV and the one used for inspection. [Apr 2014]
Of course installations need only comply with the adopted Code version when the work was done.
The Fire Marshall usually uses the newest version of the Code for testing starting about 9 months after it is published. The test version and the enforcement version are NOT synchronized. The theory behind testing to the new version is why make a guy buy an old edition of the code.
Adopting of 2014 may be faster than the adoption of 2011 was.
