It feels like many of the sets have seen improvement for exactly that "less in more" reason, in my opinion. The new leveling dungeon sets often do a beautiful job with that. It just saddens me that where buttwings were thrust upon us for the final raid of ARR and HW, both, now we have the choice between a gaudy Ironworks rehash 4.0 and even gaudier lamellar dresses that are apparently suspended and expanded by hidden balloons.

It feels like two very different art teams are responsible for, say, Aery, Vault, Asuran/Doma, and Castrum Abania gear and our final raid tier sets. And now it feels like that latter team took the plate a raid tier or two earlier, for the worse.
