We're starting to see full Tier 8 sets emerge from folks around the web. Many thanks to everyone who's sent us images in!
We've compiled what we have in a gallery below. Obviously we'll be adding more to it over the next hours / days as we get more pictures and what not.
The druid armor looks particularly cool I think, and is featured on the image above. Click it for a higher resolution image.
The warrior set reminds me of Tier 5 from SSC/TK, and I do not like that. Not one bit. But... at least it's not the Paladin Tier 4 set.
We'll let you know when we have more sets in for your eyes to enjoy!
Update: Shaman Tier 8 gear added.
Updatex2: All classes Tier 8 gear added and concept art as well. Big shout out to MMO-Champion for providing the new shots. Click here for first shot of new gallery entries.

The Paladin set reminds me of a factory.
I'm now a factory....OF PAIN!

I love the Paladin set!!!
At least the coloring is awesome even if you do need to hide the
helmet.
I, personally, like the druid set. Every druid set should look like
a cross between Ted Kaczynski after a day or 2 too many out in the cabin and park ranger tha thit too many branches when he slipped and fell out of a sequoia.

Paladin T8 looks a lot like Lightforge to me.

I thought the paladin set looks very boring (as it is right now.) But, then again, I'm a great fan of the Season 2 set, which, IMHO, was the best looking gear for a paladin.

pally set all i can say can we get a new option to hide all armor yet again the pally looks like a retard in yet another crap looking set funny how the warrior set and dk set looks so great might have summit to do with the devs playing that classes might want to put a little more thought into the armor and weapons in wotlk folks the gear in wotlk is so crap comparied with tbc gear and weapons you would think you guys just didnt bother

I like how the Druids have the symbol for "Outhouse" on their noggin.

Fighting evil by moonlight
Winning love by daylight
Never running from a real fight
She is the one named Sailor Moon!

Those look... absolutely horrible.
While I like the warlock set, I must say I find the mage set to be the most appealing. The Kirin Tor hologram is leet.

Death Knight - Cool
Druid - Very cool
Hunter - Very cool, but not very hunter-y
Mage - Very cool
Paladin - Really goofy, but not too bad by paladin standards
Priest - Very cool
Rogue - Goofy, but kind of cool
Shaman - Isn't this almost the same as Cataclysm?
Warlock - Very cool, but it doesn't feel Titan-y like the other sets
Warrior - Cool, but kind of looks like every other warrior set

The Warlock set looks a lot like the Avatar of Grenth in Guild Wars...

HONEY!? Did you remember to pick up the eggs?
Yes dear... they are on my shoulders...

Paladin set and Warrior set are cool, then you look at the helmets.
I feel like these sets look half finished. I supposed the druid has the same issue though with the goofy head piece

The paladin looks like an episode of back to the future. It's so new it's bad.
Reinard Feb 24th 2009 3:25PM
Oh, look, the paladin set looks completely silly.
This is new and unusual.
Lightblood Feb 24th 2009 3:27PM
yet again, another fail paladin set
How you can make a plate healer look so retarded is beyond me =(

Well, Paladin tier 8 is better than 7, I'll give it that point....
But still, not very appealing. It pretty much looks like T8 Paladins are supposed to continually spam the /train emote. Maybe the train set from Dalaran will give us a buff and become both simultaneously annoying and useful.

That can't be the paladin T8, it's so ugly. I hope it's just a big joke.
Paladin brutal gladiator set looks so much better than this...
Did Blizzard send their model creators on holidays again?

The paladin set is not terrible, but still "meh." The stand outs for paladins remain, in my opinion, T2 (undisputable) and T6 (open for debate).
Xlade Feb 24th 2009 3:32PM
I like the root things on the Druid. Snazzy!
I like the concept art for pallies better than the actual armor though
