So I dropped by the test server and got a screenshot of what we have to look forward to on the 22nd of August. Looking pretty
HAMSTER to be honest, doesn't compare to miracle healer. Hope it has good looks at least
Also there is the question of what counts as a "direct heal", and the fact that the set says 0/4. No reinforced?
(Yes you can only buy 3 pieces off the vendor).

I currently heal around 1300 with that (27k HP). Plus, since im using HW nondivine a lot (which doesnt seem to proc setbonus) i get that bonus like... 14/15 times in 60sec (AS ~15sec/Sunburst ~9.3) ideally. Which would be like ~13.000 HP/min. But that is in an ideal setup. Even when you only count Sunburst, it would be like 7.800HP/min. While the new set gives you a max of 8.526HP/min.
Feel free to correct me, but i guess the new set seems to be off the table.
Edit: UNLESS that h.o.t. goes on every single ally healed. That would make that set absolutely perfect and Sunburst an even better healing spell. That way i could get used to Armorpen on my gear (might have a huge pvp-benefit too, but that's just me i guess).
But the stats are a lot better on this set: more power, more crit, more def, it should get almost 2k recovery... Since the rest is a waste, a small dps buff is always welcome. And the 4 parts set bonus really looks awesome, if it works on all allies we heal.
PvE: Miracle Healer or Beacon/Grand or Grand Templar.
PvP: Miracle Healer or Prophet Champion or High Prophet.
I cannot see anyone struggling to try to get that new set unless it is for looks.
2 expansions, 2 worthless armor sets. Miracle Healer is still king.
Just because it's not useful for your spec doesn't make it worthless. This armour set is amazing for hybrid dps/heal builds.
I don't know if it'll be any good or not, but it does seem to have been created for Virtuous.
