I think you are getting upset a little prematurely. One thing I noticed about the socketting page was that weapons were NOT included among items that could have a socket added. This says one of two things to me:
1) Weapon sockets haven't been added yet and are on the to do list, or the ability to socket weapons doesn't come until a higher jewel crafting level.
2) Weapon sockets wont be added until the first expansion, and with it there will probably be new items with which to fill those sockets. Remember, when Diablo 2 first came out there were only gems. After LOD, jewels and runes were added.
Also, remember that there is the Mystic Artisan that will do item enchantments. We will probably see a lot more variety in modifiers from this particular artisan.
Looking at just the gem selection is STILL (and this is not me getting prematurely upset), a dissapointment. Ruby Helm increased level gain? Really, buy the time your expected to find the last 3 levels in a game you'll probably be in inferno..... Oh wait? isnt that max level end game content... Shouldnt they have made the last 3 ruby gems something else? Like increased potion and health globe number value, blah blah. 1%, 2%, 3%. There sloppy and i'd hope this gets tightened up before release. If there going to push back a games release time we want to see improvements on bad ideas or semi place holders like these.

My problem with gems that hace crappy stats like ruby-helm is they could of put this crap on the enchanter, why the hell is it a gem effect? they could of gave us resistance or something similar, I'm by no means gonna say we should completely do away with some of the effects on some of those gems but i am saying they should be somewhere else.

that maybe years down the line like how D2 is now. but its probable that the last versions of the gem, like runes in D3 and the runes and gems of D2, will drop un perfect, even in inferno level. you'll still have to put them together to reach the last levels and it will take time.
