Okay, here's what you do. Make a learning/prog PF, and write down the specific mechanic or phase you want to work on - and then also write "0-1 chest, experienced players welcome", and make sure to uncheck the "Weekly Reward Unclaimed" box when you make the PF. Now the player pool that can join the PF won't just be people who haven't cleared the fight yet, but also experienced raiders who are bored and happy to teach/help learn a fight.

And this is the point I and other have been making in this whole thread that a lot of people don't seem to grasp. If you have zero experience with Savage then the difficulty is so high above any previous content as to feel like there is no starting point that will eventually lead to completion. And there is no gradual lessening of difficulty over the life of the current tier that would conceivably allow people who are behind/late to start to catch up. You are stuck starting at the beginning with only other people who are similarly behind/less experienced to bash your head against a wall until the next tier comes out and there is no one doing the content at all.
It's true that the curve is a bit wonky in places (though I think the step from Hydaelyn EX to P1S is actually pretty smooth), nobody starts out being experienced with savage content. The only way to learn the fights is to practice them until you're familiar with them. Even in a group that is doing poorly, you can make sure to focus on yourself and your own performance. Everyone except you died to one mechanic? Try to stay alive long enough to see the next one and execute whatever it needs of you.
