And this doesn't just help the "casuals"; what if there's a shake-up on a relatively hardcore team's roster and they need to gear up a replacement member right now? Or what if someone needs a new job geared ASAP?

It's always interesting how it's rarely ever the proper top-end folks who complain about this sort of thing... because most top-end raiders love catch-up mechanics for making the Roster Boss no longer A Thing.
I'm actually in this situation right now with my own static, having went from Monk DPS to healer I need gear fast so we can progress on T9. The nerfs have been a blessing in that regard.
