    I think you have a misunderstanding. you're coming off that the DPS aint having the right gear is the problem, people don't have PLD. PLD's shortcoming is from itself regardless of gear the DPS has it's down to PLD not bringing the deeps as much as DRK or WAR. Here I'll do a table to show you what I mean.
    *this is just a mock example*

    PLD: 300 DPS
    DRK: 500 DPS
    4 DPS: 3200 DPS
    2 Heals: 200 DPS

    Total DPS: 4200,

    now let's take that table party to a boss, say Faust. The Min DPS requirement of whole party is 4400. The Table above does not past the DPS check for now, maybe later on once everyone has more gear in say 2-3 weeks time.

    Now redo the table again but change PLD out with WAR

    WAR: 600 DPS
    DRK: 550 DPS *thanks to WAR slashing debuff DRK's DPS has gone up by 50
    4 DPS: 3200 DPS *this too could also go up if one of the DPS is a ninja.
    2 Heals: 200 DPS

    Total DPS: 4500,

    Now thanks to swapping out WAR who has more DPS than the PLD and has slashing debuff to increase DRK's, WAR's and Ninja DPS this party set up can now clear the boss encounter which required the 4400 DPS check as a group.

    So it's not down to what gear the DPS has *to a certain extent of course* but more due the fact PLD can't bring the deeps as much. Not saying it can't ever but you get stuff done sooner with a WAR/DRK in Savage.
