I definitely second delaying 8.0. I found like a dozen game breaking item bugs along with a few other bugs, and now I find out that I only tested like 1/4 of the Magic Items. It requires alot more testing before you release it, I would rather not see a horribly bugged 8.0 release.
The elemental item remakes also need to be finished, having them half way between is not a good thing. Either finish remaking them, or revert them. I think that should all be done in one version.
I also suggest again that the Elemental items boost a specific two spells, and have an alternate form that boosts a third spell instead. For instance, all staffs would boost [Q] and [A], but would have an alternate form with slightly more stats that boosted [Z] instead of [Q] and [A]. Accessories and boots could both boost the [C] spell in their ultimate form. This allows you to boost the spells you want, and hopefully not waste anything on the spells you don't care about. Basically, totally redo the Elemental item spell boosts from scratch.
Lastly, I agree with Jay strongly on all of his points.
