Difficulty format for Normal and Savage will remain in 4.0

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.

Well, lets say SE finally gave raid gear a 10 ilvl bump over upgraded tome gear. Raiders would simply stick around to farm BiS and alt gear, like we do now. Getting a BiS set can take a few months.
