Lack of sockets 71-79

Why there no level 71-79 items with 2-3 sockets?
I mean in Outland we get tons of 60-70 blue items with nice amount of sockets. This atleast gives some nice customization options, but in Northrend there is almost no choice, just generic mainstream gear with 0 sockets :( Why is that so?

Well I'm not saying this is the reason, but I can't really imagine being very impressed with the amount of new gems I'd have to buy considering the amount of different gear we can go through between 70 and 80.
