The Transmog system was built for the WoW engine. The current glamour system is NOT that system, and never could be. It's easy to say "do X" without giving a thought to the underlying data structures behind every little detail of a game system.

One might as well say "copy the WoW Raiding system", even though the battle engines are different and doing so would require rewriting the entire game (which Blizzard did, pretty much, with Cataclysm).

Aside from particular sets of gear purchased from specialized vendors for the purpose of faster leveling, much of the WoW transmog system was set up for a single class. Your Horde-side mage doesn't share a Transmog list with your Horde-side Hunter, nor with the Alliance-side mage, for example. There is a single gear type you can wear -- no mail armor for mages, as an example. It's much more restrictive than the FFXIV glamour system ever was.
