Fabled 7-piece bonus vs Insulated Sleeves of Focus

[TsarRasput]

I was looking over the 7-set bonus(up to 50 to all spells) and the Insulated Sleeves of Focus (Up to 50 to all spells) and I'm trying to figure out if there is ever a situation where it would be better to have the 7-piece bonus vs having the 5-piece bonus + the Insulated Sleeves of Focus + one other open slot.  I am thinking that this shows just how underpowered the 7-piece set bonus is, but I wanted some other opinions on this.

To be honest, our bonuses are fairly attractive in regards to our set.  To answer your question, no:  I don't think there would -ever- be a reason to have all seven pieces. ...Five however?  Still running numbers <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

yeah 8% crit would be nice, course I need 4 more pieces to try it <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Even when I have all 7,  I will not wear them all at once
