It's definitely not going to be BIS when it gets buffed next patch since the set lacks crit compared to the off pieces and has 0 spell hit. Here's just a list of items I'd use over t2, most of these items shouldn't be too hard to obtain if you already have 8/8 t2 (rockfury isn't in the game but should be relatively easy to get next patch).
Mish'undare > T2 helm (2% crit 3 sp more)
Mantle of the Blackwing Cabal > T2 Shoudlers (13 more sp)
Bloodvine Chest > T2 Chest (5 sp and 1% crit vs 2% hit on bloodvine)
Rockfury Bracers > T2 Bracers (8 sp 1% hit more)
T2 Gloves are actually good so I won't compare them to anything (only thing better would be cthun gloves)
Mana Igniting Cord > T2 belt (2 sp 1% crit more)
Bloodvine Legs > T2 Legs (7 sp trade 1% crit for 1% hit)
Bloodvine Boots > T2 boots (1% hit vs 8 sp)
So assuming you are a tailor and have the items above you basically lose 3% crit 36 sp 5% hit but you gain the T2 set bonus.
Also I ignored the stats so I guess you can consider that if you think you still want to make this trade off, I'm guessing T2 will come out ahead in terms of stats.
One thing to point out here is you don't actually lose that much crit due to the significant int that the t2 gear has
The huge hit loss is deffinitely an issue though
