I feel like you're missing the point. I don't mind grinding out a whole set of gear for the full upgrade, but I feel like a set bonus would be nice. There are literally no unique effects in this game, just small stat boosts. Especially with all the new ilvl60 gear getting released in 2.1. They need something to really stand out aside from just cosmetics to make people want to go grab them. I feel like it could really give the game more depth if certain sets were more suited for certain fights. That's just my two cents anyways.

Hm, I can see that but I don't really see the issue with that. If there is a really unique or rare piece of gear that has special effects on it that might last you a while, what's the harm of using it for a while? For me it's gear like this that really gives me drive to delve into dungeons again and again.
