I agree with you that its imbalanced, but I think the main reason they balance base on those high end players is because it matter at that point. No one parses dungeons seriously, very few players optimizes in dungeons, or care for optimal rotations or compositions, I mean hell half the player base is still wondering if healers should even use their DPS skills. So to them, "as long as its playable" is probably the most thought they give to any class when considering casual content. At that point any adjustments they make just wont matter as much because very few people will utilize it to any real degree. Whereas balance made to cater to high end raids has a clear measurement both from developers and from the community via the aforementioned FFlogs and parsing.
