I'd spend it on a trip somewhere nice that you can photo some of those nice things
 
I had a d7100. Nice camera, but it won't have better image quality than your d3300. That's not saying you shouldn't buy it, but only if it's features are needed by you. For landscape it's really not going to benefit you.

I do understand though that the money will disappear on a bill. I had a long telephoto in mind and my car decided to die.

However if your not sure but want to buy something,you could get a 650 voucher in a good camera shop and buy when you are more sure of what you need
 
As much as I think the D3300 is a great camera I would trade it in with the 650$ add a little more and get the D7200
 
I vote for the Tok 11-16.
 
I would safe the money until you feel you actually NEED something.
 
I think the second flash and stuff to use the other lighting stuff you have is a good place to spend part, but really if you were doing more portraiture.
I would lean towards the ultra wide and a grip.
I always end up spending money like this on things for the house or kids.
 
I would spend it on real ale and prostitutes
 
I have that Tokina 11-16 and its great. I recommend it to expand your focal lengths and its just a fun lens. You may find yourself in some tight spots trying to photograph architecture.... this will open things up for you.

Eventually you will want to upgrade your camera body, but I doubt it will make a difference in your photography. As of now (correct me if I'm wrong) you haven't used your current body to its fullest extent so you would just be getting more features that you don't necessarily need right now, and the image quality wouldn't be much better with a better body. (unless you are willing to spend more and upgrade to full frame)

I doubt that getting the 1.8 lens will really benefit you mutch with what you currently have because you aren't going to want that super shallow DOF for what you are shooting.

Lighting equipment would be most useful in portraiture or macro photography, but you don't have a macro lens so I'm doubting lighting is going to up your game right now.... since you don't seem to have interest in areas that lighting would be most effective.

Another thing that you may consider is a good set of ND and Graduated ND filters. Those may have the most impact on what you currently shoot. You also didn't mention what programs you edit with. Technology might be a good area to spend that money.

Suggestions:
A second camera for when the SLR gear is too big and too obvious.
A tilt/shift lens for architecture/landscape.
A good monitor and calibration device.
