Difficulty format for Normal and Savage will remain in 4.0

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Actually, 2 of the drops were still BiS for mages years and years later. Ninurta's Sash and Aureole were the two items I mentioned.

Fair enough, though that segues into another issue. Say 4.0 did launch with Savage dropping by far BiS gear. What purpose would raiders have to stay subbed once they have all they want? All dungeons, 24-man raids and etc won't give them anything meaningful. Tomestones definitely has its flaws, but it does keep people queuing into the aforementioned content.
