I think this is what some others are trying to say:
The problem with the Antignome and Banished sets were that they were only the best sets in the zone where they gave the set bonus. In other zones, or in PvP, there was other gear that was actually superior.
Most players (myself included) do NOT want to have multiple sets for different purposes. That means you need multiple sets of jewels as well.
So my suggestion is this: Future sets should still be the best gear even without the set bonus, even if by just a little bit. Then you can be sure players will grind to get those sets. Perhaps there should be a set bonus that applies everywhere, and then that set bonus can have a multiplier that applies only in certain zones.
