Casuals got their Normal and Hardcore got their Savage. What you also seem to be missing is the fact we are still on 3.0x, of course there isn't gonna be a lot of ways to gear up.
The issue is that Alexander Story Mode drops i190 gear, which SE then balanced the Savage game around.

By doing this, they made Stoyr Mode required for Savage Progression in the early weeks. It also puts anyone at a disadvantage who wants to enter into Savage raiding now if they just recently hit 60 or started hitting Alexander story.

If Alexander Story wasn't capped content, it might be more bareable - but to be honest, they should either remove loot from Story mode, or make it sidegrade to the currently Uncapped tomestone gear. This way there are options. But it shouldn't be capped.
