Like it or not that is how Mythic impemented them on live. The original set designs up until rr70 were class specific and for a good reason. They were a mixture of all 3 mastery trees of the said class and hence represented class variety accurately. Choppas chop so their sets reflected to that. However more versatile classes like dok and wp had a mixture of melee oriented and healing stats. When you take this hybrid factor away from the sets, Choppa still only chops and hence things do not change for it much. However many classes around him that were not as specialized get the advantage of gear specialization all of a sudden while still retaining all their baseline abilities from all different masteries.
I expect devs know what they are doing with this and are prepared to rebalance 100 different little things after this to retain balance in T3 environment. One thing that makes me wonder though is that why start deviating from the original WAR already in T3 environment when T4 is gonna be endgame and you kind of have to start the whole process all over again. Sounds to me like wasted man hours better directed elsewhere but like I said what do I know.
