SO how do we even know they will let us change the stats at all this time round? How do we even know they wont bring out an upgrade for the Savage items?

I doubt the relic will be BiS next patch for the fear of repeating past mistakes.
They have already said the stats will be changable in the next step. It will most likely be ilevel 240, which means it will be superior to everything except for the midan weapons. If it's going to surpass the midan weapons at any point, it will be some time after 3.3. The only case where it might end up being superior to midan weapons would be for healers, if they can chose accuracy as one of the secondaries.
If the novus step was a mistake, why would they add the nexus step before the next raid tier? The mistake they did was making the original relic +1 be the same item level as the allagan weapons at launch. They fixed that by making raid weapons be 5 item levels higher than everything else. Since then, the original relic would only surpass the raid weapons near the end of the current raid tier.
