They don't have anything like it at the moment since normal mode is not even the same thing as the savage mode of an 8 man instance.
I'd consider EX and first savage floors to be the remaining bridge.
Get better at ex, move onto trying floor 1, get better at it for how there's still a difficulty gap between the two then move on to the rest of the floors.
