items in new expansion with better stats

I'm quite sure this has been suggested but cant find it.. with the new expansion coming please, please have the new items give better stats. I think it's kinda lame that demonlord gear (while looking cool, yes) is only giving the same stats as gear from jarl. The new gear from the new elite levels should have some additional bonus to it and not have the same stats as the old gears... Otherwise maxing out stats becomes too easy (are we gonna do 15-25 sec elite jarl runs by lvl 26?).

I hope sts will make the new gear not only challenging to get but also more rewarding to wear :)
