Spirit of the Deep gear was originally planned to release with the expansion but I've had a change of heart - largely due to the inflow of messages from concerned players who feel that their epic struggle to level-up their existing Spirit gear will be obliterated by a replacement set. There is merit to this concern. Therefore we'll keep all the new 'Spirit' stuff under wraps 'til other power-related impacts of the expansion have settled.
SETS
When the expansion releases there will be a three (3) piece Legendary Level 81 set and a six (6) piece Legendary Level 81 set. Both of these sets will provide significant bonuses. There will still be a power gap between Level 76 Arcane gears and the Level 81 Legendary gears (that favors the Arcanes) but these 3 and 6 piece sets will make that gap a bit more narrow.
