You can't balance it at all, at least in that regard.

Either you make it so that the hard and the easy job have similar/equal performance, then there's no reason to ever pick the hard job, as you'll always perform better on easier jobs due to less opportunities to eff up, or you make it so that the reward is equal to the effort required, then only the bad players are gonna pick the easier job and the job gets locked out from high performance content. League of Legends had that same issue with their champions for ages, with some of them dominating in high elo and in championships while having a low winrate in low elo.

It's all just a question of whether effort should be rewarded or not. And the live letter said no, effort should not be rewarded. The question now is when normal mode raids and trials get the same rewards as Extreme and Savage, because that's the logical consequence of that mindset.
