That's all that changed at the "top" level where you can socket everything for DPS. There are a lot of in-between DPS items between T5 and T6, and compromises made with T6, that show how items may have value where they previously didn't.
In the short-term, note that
[Gloves of Dexterous Manipulation] increased their lead on everything besides T6.
[Cursed Vision of Sargeras] becomes obscenely better than any other option, as opposed to significantly better. A great many blues start infringing upon the territory of epics (making, say,
[Windslayer Wraps] not much better than
[Fel Leather Gloves].)
[Edgewalker Longboots] and
[Boots of Effortless Striking] get to be as good as
[Treads of the Den Mother] for DPS (but still behind Shadowmaster's).
[Ancestral Ring of Conquest] went from top-tier DPS item to second-tier, as well as things like
[Mithril Chain of Heroism] and
[Haramad's Bargain]. The new
[Shadowprowler's Chestguard] now has competition from
[Bloodsea Brigand's Vest].
The top isn't different, but the steps getting there definitely are. Essentially-- anything with AGI, AP, and sockets all got better than they were before. Items with all 3 got significantly buffed relative to "feral" items with STR/AGI.
