As far as anyone is aware and has been said, totally random.
And you have a 1 in 6 chance so... you just keep rolling the same 1 out of 6 >> Random is random.
I'm 0 for 12
I love how I haven't seen a single person care about anything other than the KB/KD IO. Seems a really well designed set.

It'll be useful sometimes for TAoE powers, I think, and maybe for energy defense. Premiums might plausibly want 6 pieces for characters that need KB protection.|

But yes, the proc is by far the jewel of the set. I'm not sure that's such a bad thing - much the same is true of Winter's Gift, or Miracle, or Achilles' Heel, or etc.
0 for 8 so far... Maybe ill get lucky and get a couple in a row.
wonder what the market is gonna be like on these when they finally are tradeable.

I'm actually very interested in the set bonuses.
In fact, with the exception of my Peacebringer, none of the characters I play these days actually need the -kb.
I just keep getting the same one. Clearly I need to run this more often.
Thanks for the replies! At least I know I'm not doing something wrong...

So, actually, sets where one piece is the favorite are quite common.

I know it's just how random chance seems to work, but of all the times I've run it, I've had that same piece you keep getting every time but once. And the one time I didn't get it, it wasn't the proc. |

Granted, my 10 times running it isn't a huge sample, but it's starting to seem like the specific pieces of this set might be individually weighted differently than each being 1 in 6...

So THAT's where mine went. I've been luckier, but can't seem to get that one.

It's also pretty common to slot a proc/global and the single-aspect, since the two-piece bonus on a lot of the proc/global sets are pretty tasty (i.e. Numi's proc/heal grants regen, etc.) and you typically want to enhance the actual power in addition to slotting the proc/global.|

Overwhelming Force's 2 and 3 piece bonuses are actually really nice (12% +regen, 3% +damage). I'm certainly going to be trying to fit three in whenever I'll be using the proc instead of just the proc.

Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters
I generally trust Arcanaville.
My results look much less random.
10 runs.
9 Dam/End/Recharge
1 Acc/Dam
Not complaining really, as I suspect the triple will be worth a decent amount for sale once the AH feature is fixed.
My drop rate is also a bit off, tho it does seem to be slowly normalizing.
22 runs (I don't get bored easily)
2 - Acc/Dmg
4 - End/Rech
7 - Acc/Dmg/End
2 - Dmg/End/Rech
3 - Acc/Dmg/End/Rech
4 - proc
It's the A/D/E that's out-of-skew for me ... that's what my first 6 all were.

Well, given that, I'd say it's not weighted at all then. So, random is random.

Did a summer event just now - everyone on team go the kb-kd on first run. Alted toons and same results.
It's not even my birthday. 
I have been giving my procs away to friends/globals who need them. I will save a few for myself in the event I want to use them one day. Only used one of the 20 so far I have received; on my rad/psi defender (TK blast).

Okay, so I'm digging the Summer Blockbuster event. I LOVE Casino Heist (although - as a suggestion for next Summer, could we have it give us a costume swap power for the non-hideout parts like the DA personal story arcs? Would be a nice touch!)
And it's a damned good thing I love it, because of the six times I've run the thing on four different characters over two days I've gotten SIX of the Damage/Recharge/Endurance enhancements.
Sigh... oh well. Pass the popcorn. Good movies are worth seeing seven times, I suppose. Or eight... Or nine...
Six isn't so many times to run it, I guess.
EDIT - oh right. The question. Is the reward random, or performance based? Maybe I'm doing a crappy job....
