You've flipped flooped.. First it was mostly about not getting to level 30 without the Raid, then it was about match making, and now it's about looking the same.. Itemization, from what I can tell in this game, is negligible at best. It may come into play more in the Crucible, but for PvE it hasn't once mattered for me..so using your play style as an excuse is a bit of a stretch for me. What does it matter if you have the same gear? It's raid/tier gear...it's going to look the same for every class that has it...that's the bloody point of tiered gear! It's a set of gear, that is completed via raiding or other means. Why are you not bitching and whining about all the sets of gear sold at other vendors? I've come across many folks with the Ghost Angel armor, or Dust Walker, etc..etc... You only seem to care about raid gear looking the same..which..baffles me. Sounds like you are just grasping at straws for the sake of being argumentative. Multiple people have offered suggestions (myself included) as a way to get into the raid and reach that ever impressive level 30. For what it's worth..level 30 will be replaced by a level 40, or 50, or 60, soon enough..I wouldn't get too bent out of shape if you don't hit it. That feeling of replacing epic gear with a rare piece when an expansion will soon be felt by members of this community that have yet to experience it..and I'm sure the forums will be flooded with people upset that their raid gear is now useless...the same gear they spent so much time trying to get..
