There are issues with Epics that have nothing to do with their functionality with/without the breaking of Coordinated Buffs; take a closer look at how things work and are calculated when referring to those buffs before diving too deeply down the rabbit hole here.
The Attack/Armor is wanted because it most certainly is viable if you're able to put in the work to make it functional; you point out the use of Att/Def and Suicide, but you aren't looking at the "why are those sets used?" aspect. You also point out the same sets being used for Titan Hunting, but don't mention the "why?" fully, but instead have blanketed the reasoning with "Piercing Strike, Critical Hit, etc.," and while those are PARTIALLY correct, think, specifically, about how those enhancements may play a part and what their potential counter(s) may be.
Also, to answer "why aren't they used?" Here's a link as to "why?"

You'll see the gear disparity isn't the best, and while it hasn't been updated since the release of the SE's, Arena Sets, or the most recent LE sets, you'll find, after quick calculations, that the percentage change in the disparity is negligible.
If "armor wasn't viable" why are people asking for it? Hmm? I think this comes down to the understanding of the larger picture and the fundamental/foundational understanding of the mechanics and what it takes to make all of those sets work. If a single individual can't get an armor set to work, doesn't mean the rest of the community who can make it work, should be deprived of those items and sets.
I respect that you disagree however I stand by what I have said. Armor set-ups have not been used outside of very few ladder ranges in an extremely long time. There are lot of factors on why that is but its honestly not worth going into. By the time any meaningful change would occur, a few decades will have flown by.
Armor isn't viable and asking for more of it is honestly a waste of the developers time right now. It isn't about "getting it to work". Why bother if other alternatives work as good if not better than an armor based set-up? Then again, how much effort should it take to make a new set in terms of coding ... probably not much besides the art work. However, adding 1 or 2 more sets isn't going to fix the "armor set-up problem" its scarce throughout the level ranges by your own data. Getting the app completed and working on stability in the game overall is most important imo.
Sounds like your taking out your frustration about the situation on me but i'm stating things pretty clearly.
