Sets need to compete with each other for gear slots, otherwise, gameplay will become convoluted and perhaps some unpredictable synergies will make certain combos OP.
Yes, these extensions would open up a hell of a lot combination options, out of which some might turn out to be op. Is that an issue? I don't think so. Something ridiculous would probably be found during the ptr testing and if something truly op, that nobody thought about were to be discovered after 10 weeks of the season, so what? I'd actually like that. We could puzzle all season long with new combinations instead of making the choice of which set and which bracers.
edit: Forgot to mention. Legendary chests, heads and pants are basically useless, which is sad. Some of them are ok to find once for the cube and than that's it.
I think, we need additional set pieces for the existing class sets, so that we have more choice, which 6 slots to use for the set bonus and which to keep open for regular legendaries. I've seen new models of the same old chest, pants, head stuff again, which might be to keep their art guys entertained but from a gameplay point of view, sets with like 10 pieces (but only 2, 4, and 6 bonuses obviously) would open up so many choices, that it's ridiculous to not include that now.
This is under the assumption that the new ring set won't render every other set obsolete, which certainly won't make it to live.
