Another detail they spoke about was their method of testing and tuning savage back in HW. It turned out that they were testing turns not as a whole, but phase by phase and with immunity to boot (Likely because of a lack of stability within the testing team). New phases were being tested with fresh cooldowns which heavily skewed DPS requirements as a whole.
I don't think Gordias was intended to be unkillable on week 1. Rather the sac strat just made the dps check much harder for A4S (but in turn greatly simplified the fight).
Twintania is the key example of SE trying to ensure something couldn't be cleared upon it's release.
