The issue ain't the new system, but the new(and useless) awakens, I used over 1k elite gems, and max I got was 7.5% stats on my weap.
Those new awakens were added probably because we can now awaken our gear with no need of awakening event, and those new awakens are a way to decrease our chances to get op awakens.
That said, for now 15% cd is the best option for weapons due we don't need 2-3 awakens slots to have it, making it way easier to get, but I can't imagine how hard it gonna be to awaken sb pieces(that only has 3 awakens slots) with 8% stats or so...
If I would suggest something, it would be to remove some new and bad awakens that were added with the new system.
