Achievements like Hand of A'dal and even Immortal/Undying were a cakewalk in comparison to the immense amount of time and effort you had to put into achieving rank 13/14 back in the day.
I'd consider it lucky that you're able to transmog the gear at all with a low rank of 9, and even still it should stay as it is and you are only able to transmog that gear on the character that you earned it on, similar to how some titles are not account wide and only for the character you earned it on.
