There are no downsides waiting at least two weeks for savage.
It gives everybody an equal amount of time to prepare.
Also they wouldn't have to delay the tomestones? you know we get 2 new dungeons every even patch...wait..I forget. I hardly do dungeon.
You talk about wanting to not make NM and crafted gears obsolete, but want to make tomestone gears available before Savage? That would make them even more obsolete and that's why SE won't do that.

In fact, SE probably would also delay crafted gears if they also delay Savage. So it's not just tomestone gears being affected.

Really, the solution is already available: don't rush. And if you'd rather get NM gears instead of going full set of crafted gears, then do that.
