Thanks! It's fun ahah. Heck, I legit just have a medley of crafted, normal raid i580, and 1 i590. Working on leveling all my other jobs before I nab MB gear so I can clear up my inventory.

At this point of the raid tier people who haven't cleared all boss need all the help they need and i'm just not going to go with a job that only have crafted gear i'm just going to grief them.
if you're not able to meet minimum DPS requirements without being overgeared, I think you need to evaluate what you're doing with your jobs and how you play them. If you're relying on gear to hit DPS checks in order to "not grief" then there's something wrong with your rotation, or you're not overmelding or something.

I just finished my first ever savage run (Granted, P1S so lower DPS check, but P4S is tuned to be cleared in i580) last Monday, we're about to reclear today. Nearly the entire group was in i580 or less, with our lowest geared member sitting at around i578. Our highest geared member was i590, second highest was I believe i581.
