This is fully buffed, and seems weird because the upgrade from t7 to t8 was huge, over 300dps unbuffed for me (that's on dummy, i believe it was almost 1k in raids).
Even if 2 months later i have the 258 ilevel 4 set, i ll get probably 300dps increase, and I never run such a perfect raid composition which lowers this increase further.
Is it worth getting?

That's entirely up to you.
Personally, I've chosen to grab the 245ilvl ring, and pass on trophies for the next few weeks, especially dependent on how many tokens we see per boss in the heroic instance. I've managed to grab a nice neck, ranged and offhand dagger though, all of which were nice boosts to my DPS.
The 4pc T8 bonus was most of that 300DPS upgrade (for my gear at the time, the rupture bonus alone was worth 350DPS).
If, for example, Blizzard were to decide "Fuck it, Glyph of Living Bomb is worth 300DPS too, let's just give Glyph of Rupture the same thing so people like our T9 set better, and give 4pc T8 some stupid slightly-less impressive bonus", it could help a great deal with making 4t9 more palatable, provide a boost to Mutilate (and combat) DPS, which is falling behind Fury Warriors and Hunters at the theorycrafted BIS level, and make 4t8 less "essential".
This is almost wishlisting though, so I'm going to stop here before I get an infraction.
