    Since the new dungeon gear is most likely going to be i200, it will most likely drop new sets. It's rather unlikely that we'll see them alter the item level of the Yasha/Asuran gear to make it fit the dungeon—that's something they've done very rarely.

    Instead, it'll likely be added to Centurio Seals (which mirrors what they did with Soldiery gear when it was made unavailable through Tomes) or perhaps made available in something like Fractal/Neverreap through tokens, to help fresh 60s gear up.
    It's possible. Just feels like an easy fix when there's so much other more important content coming.

    Moving it to Centurio isn't difficult either—they just put new items on the vendor's list. Modifying the item levels means they have to modify both the Yasha and Asuran gear, as there will be characters that have both pieces. If they move them to the Centurio vendor, all they have to do is move the Yasha stuff, as the upgrade items to make them Asuran come from the same vendor already.

    Designing a new set of dungeon armor is though. I hope I'm wrong actually lol.

    Oh, sure, that takes time. But that's...the whole job of the art team. They don't do any of the other work on the game, and they haven't had to design any more sets than they've usually done, so it's likely that we'll be getting a new set following established patterns.
