Well consider the chest piece:
Imagine a combat build, so you'll want 2x 8hit gems... then you're faced with the blue slot.
If you put a Shifting Nightseye, ignoring the stamina (if dps is what you're concerned about most) you have a 4agi socket fitting gem. If you put anything else, you don't get the socket bonus, so you can essentially look at the blue slot as a 4agi 8ap gem with 6stm as a nice extra... not very much different than a third 8hit. Also consider the fact that meta gems are getting more strict next patch and getting a socket bonus for fulfilling your meta gem requirement is hardly something to complain about.
Granted on the same note, the gloves won't be getting a blue gem, unless I need it for my meta. :P
