Even more so if you PF and have to rely on book pity timers.

Tome gear in particular is the worst. It's pretty much impossible for a static to get all the upgrade mats for a single job in a reasonable time without spending books, and if you do that, you sacrifice being able to buy actual savage gear. It's a really dumb system.
I feel like needing BiS for multiple roles is a fairly minor complaint? A set of crafted gear would surely suffice, no? There's enough time to gear 3-4 roles between savage and ultimate release. Surely anyone who feels that they need multiple roles geared immediately is playing with multiple groups and already needs an alt to circumvent lockouts anyway.

I agree that the distribution of loot is a mess though. Due to so much of the gear and also tome mats dropping from the 2nd fights, you need to reclear it so much more than the others to get your loot.
