Your post is a bit in the deep end. No where at any time Applejinx suggested they wanted something perfect.
Crafted gear so far (and now the new relic) is has been 20 ilvs lower than raid gear. that's 20~30 main stats less. I can't think of a scenario where its better than just getting raid gear unless we're talking 1st week of the patch cycle. So I didn't count it.

At the end of the day mixing and matching between 2 sets and 2 weapons is incredibly boring. We need no less than 4 sets and several set-less pieces and weapons to add into builds per raid tier. If Relic armor is viable we now have 3 sets. If SE can muster the courage to have MMO-like stats on gear we'd be in a good place.
