As has been noted in previous posts (which also reference the quote you found, in full), while Yoshi did in fact state this, he also admitted that the DPS checks in Savage were tuned too highly, such that it's not simply a matter of item levels not being high enough for a wider majority of groups than the top echelon of raiders. That is, Yoshi admits the DPS requirements in Savage are currently overtuned such that groups are needing more than just better gear to clear the fights: they're needing additional DPS (one source of which is that "last resort" healer DPS he mentioned in your quote).
