The only thing I think might save us is if the rings get more substantial as they progress inwards. So for example the first ring might be this garbage, but the middle one could be more akin to the gilded traits on the artifact tree. Still terrible and static, but better then nothing.

If anything, it's a better and more customizable version of artifacts that change every raid tier. And if thats all we get I will at least be somewhat satiated.
From what it appears, this is just the first bits of it, with a lot of the pieces from NLC just ported over to test implementation. Warlocks have a trait that boosts agility, for example.
The only time we will be able to really talk about this is once we actually have a few pieces of azerite armor to test and play with, since by then we should have a clearer view on the direction this will be going in.
