That is the list of raid tier sets. Best set is a open opinion, it depends on your spec.
Sets that increase pet damage is best for BM, but would weaken MM. On the other hand, sets that strengthen Stings would be ideal for SV.
It really varies on what spec you want to run and what you have at your disposal.

Now I see why you haven’t been active in the RSV discussions of late 
You’ve been busy writing this post!
Personally, I liked Rylakstalker’s Battlegear setbonuses for BM.
Can’t remember what the bonuses were for RSV when we still had that spec though.
The set bonuses that I liked the most though, were the BM specific T19 bonuses we had before they changed them.
The ones that affected your Dire Beasts/Frenzy combo with Bestial Wrath.
Its been talked to the point of nothing new to add. There is a point were a post runs it corse and best to leave it until new ideas can be made than just running in circles around same ideas.
