PvP set bonus nerf is a slap in the face

To non-two set capable classes. So now it is a choice of an amazing extra amount of resilience from wearing two different sets, or a tiny int bonus!

I wonder what druids/shamans/priests are going to do! Take the terrible 4-piece, or take the amazing double two piece? Most were already taking the double two piece.

Being able to wear two different sets HAS to be removed, or give all classes that option.

And for people that do not understand, the difference in wearing double two piece or not, is more then a resilience trinket. So they can either A. stack 400 flat more resilience then everyone or B. Replace a resilience trinket with an OP 372 PvE trinket when available (Some now obviously, just not widespread) and STILL have more resilience then people without the option to wear two different sets for the bonus.

Right now some hybrid classes benefit from wearing a pair of 2 piece set bonuses in PvP instead of their 4 piece bonus. We don't much like that behavior though, and we're going to eventually make the two bonuses exclusive so you can only ever have one 2 piece bonus at a time. We're not going to make that change in 4.0.6 as we realize some people have spent a lot of points to buy into the double-2 piece bonuses. However, it is likely we'll make the change at the start of the next PvP season.

Thats an easy fix, Just make a 4 set bonus that's worth getting or more powerful than stacking 2 2-set bonuses.
