not one of our set bonuses is really that huge, i personally just wear the best pieces and that's it.

i do NOT use the boots or the shoulders and the helmet i swap out with the crimson helmet of horrors on more difficult fights because the crimson helm is superior dps on trash and easy stuff. if none of the set bonuses were in place i wouldn't shed a tear. the bonus to C/S/P is 9.6, barely makes a dent especially since you have to be berserk to get it, 20% less power drain on adrenaline is ok but nothing i would swap aggro/dps gear out to get, the raidwide power regen on the pants is 26 also nothing that will make a dent in anything worthwhile, i can't even remember what the 2 set bonus is at the moment. the only shining piece is the breastplate buff, which some have parsed and said our T7 BP outprocs it DPS wise.... i haven't tested this myself since i muted all my old gear(i have a hard time believing this claim though since the numbers would have to be completely wrong damage wise listed on turmoil or the proc rate is broken which it does not seem to be).
