The first tier is already nonsensically staggered since normal doesnt release with the expansion launch anyway. If anything, it should have its pointless gating removed and savage should launch day 1 of the raids.

Time-gating content in MMO's has always been nonsense. If you have it ready for release, release it.
Time gating is useful in the right places at the right times. As to the delay or lack of a delay to Savage? Eh, I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter either way. But if it is indeed ready then yeah, they mightaswell just release the thing.
