Special event gems are now rare and will not be available until those events return. On the other hand these jewels will be so commonly available and forever that they can be stacked by anyone willing.
Most of us are not able to stack para gems, because of a para gem''s price and limited availability. The number of para stackers is very few and as the para phases out, it will be fewer. Imagine 0.6 dmg x (all the slots in your mythic and arcane gear and the new belt).As new gear releases, the gap will become less and less.
These jewels are not limited edition so multiple of them can be used which will make them effective. I think some thought has been put on these jewel stats. The knee jerk reaction can be awwww only 0.6 dmg but we have to consider that these are very commonly available and can be totally stacked. Sts is trying to bridge the gap without tipping the balance by introducing too much damage everywhere.
