Implicit wait work at WebDriver level.

Explicit wait work at WebElement level.

If it is just for visibility of list of web elements, you could try something like this :

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, timeOutInSeconds)
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElements(List<WebElement> elements));

You can just pass the datasetList reference in place of elements, that'd do the job.
