Only if the group's gear based DpS is good enough at which point the group was going to clear anyways quite possibly before the 3rd barrier is broken. Properly following the mechanics should win the fight with gear based DpS being a nice but not necessary component for victory.
If all 3 Dragon Killers went off, the bombs blew up appropriately and everyone was on top of their game with cannons, adds and dps, nah haven't seen it (though certainly not denying it is quite possible). All wipes I've seen/experienced have resulted from either misuse of cannons, missed DKs or adds eating everyone's faces.
Misuse/Failure to use cannons, missed DKs and uncontrolled Adds should be failure/near-failure conditions.

What we should not want is a nerf that makes 4 Dps beat on the boss ignoring Cannons and Dragonkillers a viable method of clearing the fight. Those who have that mentality that should be a viable strategy to complete Steps should not be able to clear it in my opinion.
