Yes, I'm pretty sure it's by design that a t3 gives 75% as much as a t4 for 25% of the effort. It means that you can get a great power for relatively little effort, but still leaves a carrot for the people who really want to make the effort.
It's a nice compromise, IMO 
The interface is only 2.5% res debuff, the rest is just the 'chance' of debuff, not the actual debuff itself.

Ok, so with the alpha, many people decided that after they got the level shift from the teir 3, they were content at that, because the 4th teir is just too much extra work for such little gain from 3rd teir. Now with the 4 new slots, is anyone thinking the same? I am, and it's a bit different for each slot.
Judgement-I am honestly thinking of getting teir one and calling it a day. Extra targets would be nice, and the debuffs/damage buff would be nice, but at that point, I would rather spend my threads and such on other slots than those bonuses.
Lore-Similar to Alpha, once I get the incarnate shift, I think I'm calling it quits. There isn't (for the one I'm looking at) any extra pets or significant change in pet damage to go from teir 3 to four, and Once I get there, I'd rather use threads elsewhere.
Interface-This one I might go all the way to teir 4, simply because I like the (sorry I don't have all the names memorized yet, too many at once compared to Alpha) combo with 25% chance res debuff, and 75% fire dot. Just a lot more added damage, and should make things die a lot quicker, and the other debuffs are mainly used on AVs/GMs, but are in tiny amounts and won't get through their resistance.
Destiny-I'm thinking teir 3 again here, and if I get all the other slots to where I want before any new ones come out, I'll get it up to four for the extra time on it. But as far as I can tell, Teir 3 is the best spot for effort vs power.
Anyone else feel like a lot of these slots don't really require the full 4th teir to be used? I am shoked to see as many teir 4 alphas as I do, I just feel like it's a grind to get everything especially with new alts still being wanted, and having multiple (ok, only 2 I continuously play) 50s to get incarnated.
