Edit: This issue has been fixed, the UI tooltips updated to reflect the true values provided by the sets. Do keep in mind that any test you perform is info we would appreciate you post here.

Yesterday while checking secondary stat values on my mage I noticed the 2 part bonus from the Mana-Etched Regalia is no longer active, despite the fact that it is green (active) when wearing 2 pieces. I know legacy set bonuses were disabled when Legion launched, but some sets remained active, non-class specific sets retained their bonus. With the pre-patch this no longer seems to be the case, I opened a ticket and got the following reply (emphasis mine):

Hey there, this is Specialist Game Master Bethshadd and I hope this message finds you well today :D Thank you for contacting us today regarding the issues with the Mana-Etched Regalia and those set bonuses no being active. My understanding is that all of the old sets became Legacy and are no longer active in-game. If you are seeing the active tag on this one it's likely just a display issue and really turned off. I can forward this information to our developers so that we can investigate and see about getting this fixed.

To offer a bit more transparency into how these reports are processed, here’s what our Quality Assurance team does with them upon receiving: 1. QA team gets bug report and tests to replicate the bug, attempting to pinpoint the source; 2. When QA team replicates the bug effectively it is sent to the Development team; 3. Dev team gets report of bug and source then work on resolving the conflict in the code; 4. Dev sends back to QA to test the fix; 5. QA weighs the bug’s detrimental effect on the world if fixed or not fixed (for example, will the fix actually cause more problems in game than not being fixed); 6. QA sends their decision to development; 7. Development creates a patch or hotfix for the issue and releases to the community; 8. Players download the hotfix/patch.

I do sincerely appreciate you being with us over the years and that does really mean a lot. If you ever run into anything else at all in the future, don't hesitate to hit us up. We will always do everything in our power to help you out and have your back.

Now, according to a different thread the Postmaster's set bonuses are working.

Please, if you have sets, do some testing and post back here and/or write a ticket in-game.

Tested in other thread but Lightforge/Valor (and by extension dungeon sets in general) are disabled, although they did not state it. The values for the bonuses are clearly imba... i think they just got tired of having to balance this stuff.
 
The only thing that is workings are artifact sets, such as the Wailing Cavern sets, Scarlet set (though AP against undead no longer works) and old Scholomance sets.

Not all!

It's not all set bonuses - The Blackened Defias 2 PC bonus wasn't working in Beta and PTR, neither was Postamster set, I logged a ticket every time I logged in and continue to do so for all the legacy set bonuses that are shown as active but aren't working that I'm aware of. i suggest anyone who still logs onto the PTR / Beta does the same. The Lola / Charlottes Ring / Neck bonus is shown as active but it gives no bonus
 
Ah I forgot about weapon sets, I know the fist weapons from ZG still work and I think Rend's weapons as well. I'll have to check.

Latho's maybe too?
 
Well, yes. I evidently missed the top part of the screenshot. Maybe it works properly for weapon procs?

After further testing I realize it does work, but the tooltip has not been updated to reflect the stat squish.

During Legion the 2 piece set bonus for Mana-Etched Regalia was 83 crit rating, which amounted to about 5% extra crit at level 60. During the pre-patch the set bonus has been adjusted to 1 crit rating.

Yes, 1 crit rating is the 2 piece set bonus for Mana-Etched Regalia and possibly for the other sets (I don't have the sets for other kinds of armor, will farm Doomplate Battlegear for that on my 69). This is basically a 0.12% increased crit rating at lv60.

I will update the ticket and await for a new response, hoping to get clarification on whether this is or isn't a bug.
 
So shadowcraft 4 piece isn’t working? Same for darkmantle?

I do not have those sets, so I can't do further testing. Sorry.

Even my testing on TBC dungeon sets is limited to Mana-Etched Regalia cloth set as I don't really have no one to carry my twinks at the moment. With some luck I will get some Doomplate pieces (non-class specific plate armor set) soon by myself so I can test and report back here.
 
So basically what I got from this, was that a gm is happy to go ahead and tell developers to now dig deeper into all the class sets, weapons sets etc. and make every single one Inactive now since you tipped them off

It is certainly possible, yes. However, I would look at all the Shahrams instead of throwing salt my way. I am sure you will survive whatever nerfs come from intended changes tho.
 
Dal'rend is still working but is equally useless. The 25ap set bonus is switched to 25str or 25agi, however the swords themselves do not swap their base strength to agility - they're fixed at strength. Unusable for fury, useless for rogue
 
As of today (Tuesday, July 24th, 2018), the newest patch seems to have restored both the 5-piece set bonus for the Slither-Scale set (although Blizzard nerfed it), and the Green Dragonscale set (massive versatility remains intact).
