And again, the problem with WAR was not the scaling, but the bad synergy between Wrath and Inner Beast. It was stupid to sacrifice your healing boost for self-healing, of your self-healing for healing boost. If WAR could have used both at the same time, I'm sure it wouldn't have any problem clearing all content.
You're misunderstanding. At the beginning of progression, everybody has the "low" (relative to that raid tier) ilvl gear because you haven't collected any drops from the new dungeon or collected any of the new tomestones. There's no getting around it. Everybody gets the same general HP (or eHP) levels.

The difference is that at the beginning of a new raid tier, DRK would get a DPS boost immediately due to the increase in boss damage. The PLD/WAR would have to wait for gear to match it.
