So many people have likely run into odd issue with sets not working right on live. The Twilight Cultist set not allowing you to use the stones, etc.
Well I created the full blue dragonscale set for my L56 shaman the other day and noticed that the char screen wasn't displaying the set bonuses for it. Wondering if it was just a display bug or if I wasn't getting the bonus at all I did some tests. I did 35 casts of Lesser Healing Wave with the set and without it. I should have gotten 12 more healing with the set on (28 * .428 = 12). The results were No Set = 705, Set = 701. A pretty clear indication that I wasn't getting the bonus. Having 4 less on average is statically normal if I was coming from the same base healing level.
To do some more testing (after I put the GM ticket in) I logged out with the gear on and came back on. The bonus was displayed in the char screen at that time and 35 casts of LHW got me an average of 715 or 10 higher than the no set average, which was pretty much in line with having the bonus. 4 of those 35 casts also made critline ding as record heals, the bonus was working.
I took the set off did some stuff, put parts of it on, did stuff put the whole thing on, did stuff. It always worked when I took it on and off. Then I put it in the bank (I'm an enhance shaman and generally run with a holy/disc priest so I don't actually wear +healing gear much). I took it back out of the bank later and the set bonus's were broken again, until I put it on, logged out and logged back in.
I'm not sure if this happens with other sets or not. Or if it is only an issue with crafted sets. I've got a few others I can test with but haven't gotten around to. But be aware that the Blue Dragonscale set at least seems to be pretty bugged up and if the char screen is saying you aren't getting the bonus, testing seems to support that you aren't.
Now this testing was done on the 24th so the live maintenance may have fixed some of it, but I figured I post on it.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
