Tier 6 on Blizzard's game guide

It's an easy little interface, and you can very easily see any of the armor sets (and all of their variants, which makes me think that it might be cool if the different spec variants actually looked, y'know, different) on any race, and even any gender of your choice. Gaze at the beauty of the Skyshatter set! Be in awe of the Warlock's Malefic armor! And puzzle why Paladins got yet another strange-looking armor set. Blizzard should just put ballerina gowns on them next time and be done with it.

The have the variants for stat purposes only.
I think it would be cool if they were different also...like different colors or something.
But then in the next xpac they would be lost on what to do for gear as people leveled...

With all the great talent coming out of art schools and conceptual illustration and design.... You'd think they'd actually do something awesome with the rogue Tier 6 set.
I guess boring, brown, blah, and spiky was part of the concept. I feel bad for anyone that puts that much time and effort into end game to be rewarded with something that looks like this. Sigh.

Skyshatter and Absolution are -gorgeous-.
I applaud Blizzard's artists on those two.
The rest.... meh.

In awe of the warlock t6? You mean laugh at the warlock t6. They finally got a ridiculous looking set.

Feh. The Druid's Tier 6 gear makes us look like a totem pole. I much prefer the look of the Tier 5 Nordrassil set, though I am rather fond of my honking Tier 4 antlers... Of course it doesn't make any difference visually when we're in cat/bear/moonkin/tree form anyways.

Judgement, Paladin tier 2, was just too ridiculously cool. We've been paying for it every set since.
But actually, I like tier 6 on blood elves, and both tier 4 and 5 look great in arena colors.

@3
Obviously you've never seen the animation that goes with equipping the warlock T6 helm. Watch one of the T6 videos on YouTube to get a better idea of what they look like in-game. The pics don't do the sets justice. I think warlocks get ample Tiered set art love.

@6: I have, and it cracks me up each time I see it. I don't disagree that the majority of the warlock tier sets have been some of the best, if not the best, for that given tier (sorry, warrior T4 > lock T4). However, this time, the warlock set looks ridiculous, and the animation when equiping the helm is laughable. Of course it is all a matter of opinion, and I'm sure warlocks would strut around thinking their T6 is the s*@t, meanwhile, some of us will be laughing behind your backs... or to your face.
