But I do understand your point, and anyone who has been playing for a while will have at least some tome gear. even so, I think the dungeons are balanced to a lowest common denominator, aka whatever the best from MSQ is.
Honestly, it turns Savage more into a glass cannon scenario. Most of the bigger mechanics will still severely hurt even with 270 gear. You can simply cheese through certain ones a bit easier. For example, DPS generally eat the first Optical Sight in A11S nowadays. Crafted gear made that much harder to pull off without making your healers cry. Unfortunately, current dungeons are easy enough even lore gear would be more than enough without much hiccup. That's where the issues lies.
