PVE had the Normal/Heroic Set (11 Sets, 2 colours each), and the Mythic Set (11 Sets, 1 Colour each).
For the entry to WoD you had 46 different Armor Sets from Raiding and PVP. Compared to HFC where there were 26 (Honor, Normal/Heroic/Gladiator Set and the Mythic/Elite Set) and Legion with the same ideology (Honor, Normal/Heroic/Gladiator and Mythic/Elite) for a total of 28.
This is not just praise to the variety, I felt Warlords S1/T1 had the same design of Wrath, where you could see the gear advancing almost, similar to Deadly through to Wrathful. It felt thematic and you really felt the Elite/Mythic sets were cool.
I don't think we'll see this again though honestly. They seem to be on the new path with a united PVE/PVP Design and using recolours instead. I think one of the issues with Legion S1 right now is that gear is obtained so randomly and often not of any actual use that many people don't have the full sets. I personally have not got the whole Warrior set for Gladiator or Honor, and I've done Rated BGs, World Quests and a lot of BGs.
