This wasn't the healer contest, you had your chances already for cool effects. So, logically, wait until the next contest for healers comes around and make something you'd like then.

For someone who's a healer or non-caster job to scream "unfair" and then refuse to roll a caster, it's called "entitlement". This shouldn't even be an argument really, it's a personal nitpick that one person has. You either roll the job for the gear so you're able to wear it, or you don't and then just suck it up.

The point of these contests were to design specific gear for the jobs that were wearing it, period. If the other gear was meant to have the flames on it for healers, tanks, melees, and ranged. They would have made the gear contest for all jobs then.
The fact that it was a player contest to design a caster set doesn't matter. The developers did not create just one set, they created sets for every class but only gave one set effects. That is lazy. And the players in general do not care about the contest, only that the developers did not bother to fully design anything but the caster set.

Future players certainly will not care about the contest, and they most certainly will not understand why one set looks fully designed while the rest look lacking.

The contest is no reason to be lazy and not add effects to all sets.
