I'd be careful with Elemental. Until Blizzard just sucks it up and gives our lv 70 epic Primal Intent set sockets, the BoP elemental recipes are severely gimp.

Are you honestly comparing
this to
this?
I'd say that 90hp, 8hit, and over 50AP, not to mention the set bonuses, make the Primalstrike more than "just as good."
I do gain more AP, yes, but I threw +3 hit +3 agi gems in my sockets (they go for 75-95S on my server) which brings my +hit to 13. Still, not as much AP, true. Forgive me, I should have said "almost" as good and I meant statwise. More armor, more AP, but I still don't see why the agility bonus didn't go up without there being sockets. I'd also like to see some +crit on there. Maybe I'm just upset because the Primal Intent set seems to be the only end game specialty crafted set that isn't socketed? If there were sockets, I would love it, that way I could add some crit to it.
Either way, it's a debateable upgrade for me, wether or not I want to invest in making it to wear while working towards better gear when I ding 70. I'll admit, you have your point, and I know the piece is better, but on a personal level I have to ask myself if mats are worth it for such a small upgrade or should I just jump right in to working towards something else?
Don't get me wrong, I'm making the bracers and the belt, I'm just not sure if the chest is worth it. I'm sorry, the vest just doesn't seem "epic" to me.
