How can something be "Tier 0"? The first Tier would be... tier 1?
The Tiers are used to separate EPIC item sets. These are not epic, which is why Blizzard calls them the Dungeon sets and Dungeon 2 sets.
What do we call the set from the Wailing Cavern? Tier -0.5?

Blizzard calls them Dungeon Set 1 and Dungeon Set 2.
And yeah it started as Warrior set, Mage set, etc. Then the Epic sets came in, in two levels so there was Tier 1 and Tier 2 and the blue sets became Teir 0 because while not class specific it was pretty obvious they were designed for specific classes. So it became easier to remember Mage T0,1,2 as opposed to um, I don't recall anything but Arcanist since I don't have a mage past L38 yet.
Since there are only a few other sets in the game and they are very low level and there aren't sets for all the classes of equivalent gear level they just get the set name since there is so much less data to track.
