Problem is: no, it really doesn't. The fact that the weapons in some sense scale more poorly matters only if the resulting damage output is subpar, and for that, class abilities must be considered. If you don't consider all class abilities, you might conclude that ret pallies do more damage than hunters because their weapons are 50% higher dps. Whether or not one particular piece of gear scales better than another for another class isn't useful information for determining whether one class is scaling more poorly or not; in order to determine that, one must consider *all* pieces of gear and *all* class abilities to see how well the classes are realizing the damage potential of their gear.
