The Hunter set is a “what were they thinking?” I honestly think they took an old unused DK set from a previous expansion that they had laying around because they must be sitting on hundreds of designs they drew up but never made it into the game. This just isn’t a Hunter set and no one will convince me otherwise.
I’ll give my quick impression of each:
DK: A very good set for the class. Looks a little too much like the ICC gear but that fits the theme of the class. This is the only one I would call S tier.
DH: It’s alright. I’d give it a B. Honestly if they swapped this one with the Hunter set it would make more sense. The skulls on the “Hunter” set would thematically work better for DH and this one wouldn’t look bad on Hunters.
Druid: I’ll agree that it’s a C because it’s just kind of a boring run of the mill Druid set. Not memorable. Looks like rehashed designs combined from various other previous sets.
Evoker: maybe a B. not great or terrible.
Hunter: I think it’s the worst of the bunch and would only make sense for DK or maybe DH. If there’s still time Blizz should swap the sets for Hunter and DH honestly it makes way more sense if they were switched out.
Mage: The different variations appear to be fire & ice themed. If they could make this automatically switch colors when the mage changes spec, then it would be an A. I think the head is too big to match the size of the shoulders, which should always be in proportion. Drogonball Z vibes.
Monk: The set just seems unfinished. More like a concept drawing than a finished tier set. I want to like it but I’ll give it a B. If they polished up the textures and made it look more finished it could rank much higher.
Paladin: I’d need to see it live but this is an A to S tier pally set. Fits the class perfectly. Design is familiar yet doesn’t look like every other pally set. Not boring like the Druid set. I like.
Priest: again the size of the shoulders doesn’t match the head. Again it seems unfinished like the Monk set. I’d downsize the head and/or bring up the shoulders a little so the proportions don’t look so off. B tier.
Rogue: At least they’re trying to do something. It’s not amazing. Again I’d say it seems sort of unfinished, but I’ll give it a B.
Shammy: I’ll give it a C. Again I just find it uninspired. It’s sort of what you’d expect for a Shammy set but there’s nothing memorable or really eye catching about this.
Warlock: B tier. It looks more proportionate than several others. The colors are vibrant. At least it’s not boring.
Warrior: A tier. I like it I just wouldn’t give it S tier because there are several other warrior sets I’d rank above this but it’s a good look for warriors. Very recognizable look for their class without being a direct copy of one of their old sets. Colors are good. Proportions are good. It works.
