I think once you start to see 4pc t6 you can definately imagine giving up 2pc t5.

Problem is, the mages who loves their 2pc t5 the most are probably Arcane mages - and arcane mages like arcane blast. The 4pc t6 is only for AM, which for most arc mages is just the filler-spell after a cycle of 2-3 ab's. Why would you want to buff your 'filler spell' by a small-ish amount, like 5%, and in the process lose a massive 20% of your primary arcane blast spell ?? AB is what accounts for the majority of the flexibility/power of arcane specs.
Arcane blast is what makes arcane mages strong - so any bonus that amplifies that (especially something as drastic as 20%) is always going to seem more attractive than a bonus such as tier 6 4pc, assuming you plan to stay the same spec.
Agree with your comment on spell haste and its affects - hopefully once people start getting the loot and gauging its effectiveness we can start to see some good first-hand discussion coming through here =)
