I was intentionally brief in describing my workflow, obviously different features require different flows. If the integration test can be covered by simple requests specs for the api, then I will write that first. If, however, the feature requires a bunch of pointy-clicky feature tests, then I will write the integration tests afterwards (I do a lot of single page web apps, so pointy-clicky specs can be important, but are too slow to test drive with). [Edit: of course this is still a gross generalization, none if this is a hard and fast rule]
