Brutal. Especially when you think that some of the LGS 5 slot sets have set 'end-game' DCs of only 90. Left hand doesn't know what the right is doing at Turbine.
On this topic, I agree. But Turbine has been pretty clear that they want players to use tactics and strategies with DC's.
If they set a melee mob (Troll, Orgre, Orthon, etc) saves at 90-75-60, they expect you to attack that mob with will save spells. Not try to climb over the highest save the mob has at a no fail/no prep level, just because you like to use Finger of Death/Wail/Implosion/whatever.
If they set a caster mob saves at 60-75-90, they expect you to attack that mob with fort save spells. Don't try to cast Greater Command, Hold Monster, etc.
I don't think you will see them setting high end DC's at a low enough point that you can Max a single school, ignore the rest, and use 3-4 spells only on any and every mob in the game.
All that said, if players bitch and whine enough on the forums they will cave eventually. Players like insta-kill. A lot. Turbine has caved to player demand on saves repeatedly in the past.
