Something I've always been curious about. Devs decided the Rubicite BP was too OP and took it out of the game. Then on the very next expansion, they turned around and put the in the fungi which has a much more powerful regen, and can be used by additional classes. It just makes zero sense.

Rubicite armor had several problems that led to its removal, the hp regen was AFAIK not one of them. Some of it had to deal with class balance issues at the time like a ranger in full rubi being a better tank than a warrior in full rubi because of the def caps that were around back then. The rubi camps were plagued with drama as multiple groups would sit on the spawns and often KS each other causing a nightmare for the GMs. The armor itself wasn't really all that great with the exception of it looking cool. The HP regen was really only highly regarded by low level alts and shamans. Most people would be better off in Brig Tunics/Enameled Black Chestplates.
The rubi BP was essentially reintroduced in RoK as the Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate which had very little hype surrounding it due to it not being cool looking red plate.
