absolutely.

if you meet the minimum ilvl and you know your rotation, you'll be fine as long as the rest of your party knows it, too. even for savage content it's just doing your rotation properly + mechanic checks the entire fight; resulting in a game of memory rather than skill... not to mention the dps increase going from ilvl 595 to 600 being so pathetically minuscule. by time most people get there the next set of equipment'll be out in a few days to weeks, making what they struggled to get until last minute obsolete.

don't get me wrong, it can still help... but the cases in which it'll help are very very specific since most the time if you or someone else messes up it either results in your insta-death and/or a full wipe which... kind of negates the point of HP or any sort of defense the armour provides but that's another take entirely and savage content being just uninspired DPS checks is a luke-warm take at best.
