The dev team recently shared all of the new upcoming class sets for World of Warcraft The War Within Season 2. It seems that Blizzard wants to share them to the community as soon as possible so feedback can be provided to ensure that not only do the new Tier Sets are appropriate for each class' identity but also making it powerful enought to compete with the other sets.
Having that in mind, we will go over the proposed new Mage Class Sets to see whether the new design philosophy will befit all of the Mage specializations.

The War Within Season 2 Mage Class Sets
Here are all of the possible Mage class sets coming to Season 2 of The War Within.
In The War Within Season 2 Class Sets will have their 2-piece set bonus designs split by role (Healer, Tank, Ranged damage, Melee damage) and their 4-piece set bonus designs split by spec. We wil utilize unique keywords for each role in their 2-piece sets and then modify how each spec interacts with the keyword in their 4-piec set. These keywords will be tied thematically to our upcoming raid – Liberation of Undermine.

- (4) Set Bonus: When you hit a Jackpot!, you also gain Aether Attunement at 100% effectiveness.

And that covers all of the new Mage Class Sets for Season 2 of The War Within. Although these bonuses are not final, it seems that Blizzard is going for an RNG-based mechanic which is goes hand in hand with the new Goblin-centered raid and content. You can check out the official post, here.
