I do like the idea of set bonuses, but a Vanity slot system would help the very issue minus the need to either rework current armor, or gimp upcoming set's base stats because the total set bonus would be "overpowered", so to speak.

I'm sure Buttons will appreciate any support he can get for his thread.

Well, I guess another way to look at it is that set bonuses have to be significant to be worth it. WoW eventually decided to have set bonuses that were major changes to the way you played your spec. Some of the bonuses on the AF pieces try to go in this direction, but foregoing using them as set bonuses.

What set bonuses allow in theory is more leeway when itemizing gear without these super bonuses eating away at the item budget. If the "Recover MP through Cover" from the PLD AF chest was a 2-piece set bonus, you could then put more +enmity or some other stat on that chest piece, for example.
