1. Legendaries Breakdown
The following sims are meant to help guide you into good decisions for legendary combination sims. It is NOT meant to be a BiS listing. It is simply a listing of legendaries and legendary combinations as applied to an example set of BM, MM and SV gear tailored to the spec. You should always sim your own legendaries with the gear that you have available. Your luck in getting Titanforged gear and trinkets will often change the relative legendary and legendary combo effectiveness.
----- BM -----
BM legendaries, Single Target, AotB, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl (Simcraft Source)
BM legendaries, Single Target, KC, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl (Simcraft Source)
---- BM Combos ----
BM legendary combos, Single Target, AotB, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl (Simcraft Source)
BM legendary combos, Single Target, KC, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl (Simcraft Source)
----- MM -----
MM legendaries, Single Target, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl (Simcraft Source)
---- MM Combos ----
MM legendary combos, Single Target, LnL, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl (Simcraft Source)
MM legendary combos, Single Target, TA, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl (Simcraft Source)
----- SV -----
SV legendaries, Single Target, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl (Simcraft Source)

2. Tier Breakdown
caveats: The tier bonuses can change at any time. Everyone is basically expecting nerfs to T19 bonuses, at the very least. Also, I did not tweak the sets to find a bis here. This is really just a representative tier set with best effort gear matching for crit, mastery and haste. I upped the item level on the T21 pieces to try to find where they finally overcome T20 pieces. I did not upgrade trinkets, rings, etc. All profiles should be 69 traits with JoT x 3 for BM and UA x 3 for MM. This is not meant to compare BM vs MM, only tier stratification without any legendaries. Legendaries may change these breakdowns in significant ways. Sim your own gear. This is only meant to give you an idea of what kinds of ilvls you will generally have to target to replace your T19 and T20 (if ever).
----- BM -----
BM tier progression, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl, (Simcraft Source)
For BM, T19 2pc remains powerful and 4pc T20 is so powerful that if you have wf/tf T20 to around 940 ilvl, then you don't appear to need to take T21, in its current incarnation, until you have a full 4pc 960 ilvl T21. That's the current ilvl pivot for T20->T21.
----- MM -----
MM tier progression, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl, (Simcraft Source)
T21 for MM sucks for single target. We all know the 4pc is useless there. It appears that you should keep T20 4pc at 930 and take T21 2pc for 930->985 unless you manage to get at least 4 pieces of T21 between 980 and 985 ilvl. That'll be difficult to do.
The better wf/tf your T20 right now for MM, the better off you appear to be in next tier (at the moment, of course).
----- SV -----
SV tier progression, 69 traits, 930/975 ilvl, (Simcraft Source)
SV Tier 20 bonus for 2 and 4 set is roughly 40k dps higher in sims than the current tier bonuses shown in T21 effects. This may change soon with nerfs to T20, but with current set power, you can expect T19/T20 combinations to remain powerful until you start getting ~960 ilvl upgrades for T21.

5. Trinkets Breakdown
The following are not BiS lists. They are meant to show the effects of equipping certain legendaries on the relative weighting of trinkets (especially RPPM trinkets). These are best used as a guide for what to sim for yourself, with your own gear combinations in an environment like RaidBots, Simcraft, AMR, etc.
BM: Stomp/Owtp/AotB: Qapla | Qapla/Sephuz
MM: LnL/PS/LW: Ullrs | Ullrs/Sephuz
SV: Way/Snake/Cal/SrS/SC : Call | Call/Sephuz
