My suggestion for 4.0 raiding, coming from a seasoned raider.

Gear Progression be damned right? Lets put the i190/200 gear out at the same time. If you don't want it spoiled, and want the cool lore, then don't do normal, simple as that. Why choke out the normal mode because you don't like how they released it.

As it stands, Midas, like Gordias, will require having cleared story mode to access Savage. And while part of why I raid is for the lore, and part of why I raid is for the challenge, I really enjoy having the lore be a reward for the challenge. This isn't to say that I want what the OP is suggesting, but I would enjoy if we got raids that tried to cater to both, even if the lore reward for Savage was just fluff, like the specs and original purposes of the machinery we fought in the Gordias sector was.
