For one, there'd be no reason to zerg the hunts on a test server, so it would have been more about testing and seeing that the elite marks appear as they should under normal circumstances, and such.

Maybe someone would have pointed out the rewards as being too high, if the rewards would even be listed on a test server...
Rift used test servers to great success. Plenty of people played there primarily, raided and dominated in the constantly changing content. It gave some hard core players even more challenge because they were always having to adapt to mechanic changes and such. Its certainly not for everyone though.
