Seeing as the rings are just a bonus as you work on the AQ40 set, I don't see anything wrong with them. Sure, I laugh at the upgrade from one level to the next, but you could say the same thing about items like the Cenarion and Stormrage Belts.
People have been complaining that the current Tier 2 sets pigeonhole hybrid classes into one role. Blizzard responded by giving item sets that move away from the norm. The Genesis set isn't nearly as good for healing as Stormrage is, but for someone who wants to go Moonkin now and then or actually plays his hybrid on the fly shifting as needed in a smaller group setting, wow.
Of course, I'm the maniac who runs up into melee with any of the Salamander bosses in MC and beats on them to get free spellcasts from Omen of Clarity.
The only criticism I have for the Genesis set - which is the one I've been following since my main is a Druid - would be the set bonuses. The Rebirth cooldown decrease is nice, but seems rather insufficient to make it a spell that sees more combat time and fewer "I'd better save this" situations. I'd say decrease the cooldown to 10 minutes and it's solid.
