It was definitely intended, but that doesn't make the logic behind it any less flawed? Right now it's screwing people who went for rank 12+ over, and by making this change they also shed light on a bunch of other stupid itemization flaws blizzard made in early vanilla and reworked throughout later patches, why not fix them too?
A great example would be caster classes tier gear, their itemization was upgraded multiple times during patches since they figured out somewhere down the road that casters tier gear was garbage compared to melees.
Besides, you gotta admit the whole 2x2 set piece bonus gimmick by using both old and new sets is ridiculous.
The only logical move imo would be to either give all items 1.12 stats or revert this miserable attempt at balancing a game which isn't particularly well known for its perfect balance in the first place.
I'll personally be hoping for the latter.
