Both jobs had to "overgear" content (probably closer to what the devs intended for ilvl) in order to clear it. DRG got buffed to not need to overgear. SMN still has to overgear. Why?
Its not even close to the same. Dead DPS do no DPS. Go ask any healer if there is a healing difference between DRG pre-buff and healing a SMN now. Plenty of SMN have cleared T13 with level appropriate gear.
