New Proc IO set idea

So, here's the idea:

Make an IO set, or a few sets (to account for what sets can be slotted where) where every IO in the set adds a 100% chance for some proc effect to whatever power it's slotted into. Additional damage or a DoT, for example, or maybe a -Fly effect for damaging powers. You could also have a set for healing powers where the procs are things like a +FlySpeed or +Range effect.

Individually, that's all the IOs would do. They wouldn't boost any other aspect of the power they're put into.

Why make them sets instead of just individual IOs like the GameStop PreOrder ones? In order to keep people from slotting multiple into a power for some odd advantage, the set bonuses would actually be penalties. People would be much less likely to slot two of them into an attack if it carried a -5% global recharge for doing so.

The goal here is to allow people to customize the effects of their powers a bit with the procs, but keep them from turning it into something game breaking. I'm not sure if this would really do it or not, though.
