I could be wrong, but I think it's once you are able to do a 5x5 routine fairly easily. You may be able to use the progression system Sliz mentioned in one of his recent posts.
For pullups its commonly said to begin with weights after hitting 10 reps of deadhang pull ups. That said 3x5 or 5x5 at tempo could also be a possible gauge. Here we might include some MPPu ability as well.
For dips one would want to work though all the variations in the book first.
In Coach's strength WODs the general rep prescription is 3x5 at tempo.
Which tempo specifically? I think 2120 or something similar is the usual in the WODs
