The changes on VIT scaling and materia melding on raid gear are both in place to take away from the perceived need to spend a quadillion gil on crafted accessories and materia to "be a good tank." (I also looked through the xivdb, not a single accessory has double materia slots in heavensward.)

Which is another thing to note, raid gear will now have materia slots but I believe it was mentioned in the last live letter that you are forbidden (hah) to forbidden meld it.
I -might- be mixing it up, due to left-side pieces having two slots, to be fair.
