Double Reaper and double Summoner is an extremely common finding in trial/raid/alliance roulette. If savage raiders are upset that doesn't mean a job is unsuccessful or dead.
You can definitely clear Savage with SMN's current state but it's very blatant that RDM (the top rated pick atm, which makes sense) does everything SMN can do but better because it has more reliable utility and more DPS. If SMN got buffed to where it's above RDM then yes, you'll see more people clear Savage with SMN, or the pick rates become more balanced instead.
