I would go 1 step further. The base rings drop with no class alignment. First upgrade alignes any of the stat rings to the class via some method. The second upgrade sets it to the specific PRE.
If you went with a token for setting it then having them drop randomly in end chests and as 5th rewards would be reasonalble.

The Myth- TR will make my character powerful
The Reality- Those kobolds in Water Works won’t have a chance but nothing else cares-Learn to play your build and all its abilities in actual difficult content, get gear and reaper points in level 30+ content and raids.
The upgradeable ring would be a cool idea but highly unlikely that the devs would go through the work to implement it, as it's be completely changing the entire loot mechanics of the raid.
Considering that 2 classes don't have ToD rings and many of them are vastly imbalanced (shintao vs morahs or sanura for example), it is definitely time for the rings to be reviewed. New rings need to be added, the sets should only work for the correct PRE period, the PRE bonus should be craftable so there are less rings with only having base class rings, and the sets should be rebalanced while they are being redone.

Add new rings if you want
Review crappy rings (morah's I am looking at you)
But I love the way shintao works for my blitz... took me 80 runs to get it... leave it like that. (also not everybody runs a pure toon...)
If you don't like other ppl rolling for the ring you want... sorry... life is like that.

You're jesting, right? A ring that grants +15 jump when it's paired with a belt that has a +30 Jump clicky for a prestige class that gets a bunch of skill points, not to mention additional skill points in jump and can usually UMD a scroll if a jump potion isn't near by...when the cap for Jump is 40 (except in Rushmoor's Castle but you need a super jump power-up to lift the cap)...and you claim it's crappy. I, sir, will not stand here and let you denigrate the thoughtful hard work that the Devs put into the effects of that ring. Please apologize.

there, fixed it: the 'stat' for the barbarian if you look at the enhancements is constitution, not strength, and for fighter it's strength, not constitution
Of course, I don't mind the rings as they are now, except for the obvious lame set bonuses and weird stats (like, why do the sorcerer rings have STR/DEX/WIS... CON I can get, but the others.)

If they changed the rings to a single one per class, I'd be in favor of using this system to determine the exceptional stat: +1 based on the ability score the class gains enhancements for. Perhaps add a ritual that changes the stat to a single alternate option for each class.

I would never equip that ring over either of my tod rings on my ranger (my only toon to have a good few). Ravager set + Tempest set is too awesome for a tempest, and Ravager + Shintao is too good for anyone else, for any melee to use this ring.
Would have to make it a universal set completer too.

You're half right. A monk will use the frenzied berserker set. The rest, you're not right for the same reason it's not right for any other toon. It's not hard to get places to put +6 and +1 exceptional stats.
The only toons that could possibly use it would be casters that don't use sets, and even then, it's not some great awesome thing for them, either.
Edit: Being able to add +2 supreme exceptional would sell me, as would counting as part of any set. But that's asking for a LOT.
