Re: HP not being full at the start of the run, who's to say that person wasn't on another class while they waited for the queue and switched back to whatever class they queued with once the queue popped for them? Your health needs time to regen if you were on a class/job with a lower HP pool and then switch back to whatever you queued with that might have a higher one; there's no guarantee HP regen at the start of a run is a result of "gear cheesing" at the time the person entered the queue.
