Just because you say it doesn't mean it's true. I've tested hp totals for typical exp mobs in different high-end zones (mostly to see what kinds of ae groups would work). You should never be exping off mobs that have 10k hp when most blue mobs have half that much.

Giegue, you making bad assumptions.
Obviously you can get to L60 without ever fighting a L50 mob. But you are losing out on most of the best loot in the game: HS South and the Chef/Crypt/Shroom areas of Sebilis all have L50 trash mobs. And the XP is actually quite good if you have good dps (250+ = kills every 40 seconds). This is not hard if you form a solid group (warrior 60/rogue 90/chain pulling monk 40/enchanter 100/shaman 0/ cleric 0 = 290). Of course you won't get there with (paladin 30/mage 60/wizard 20/druid 20/bard 30/cleric 0 = 140).
These loot-ridden L50 mobs have 10k hp. Go parse any mob that hits for 140 if you don't believe me. This is precisely the reason that they are harder. 4 low 40s lava duct crawlers will be blue at 60 but they aren't going to wipe any high 50s group, because with their 4-5k hp they'll die fast. It's precisely the L50 mobs with their higher resists, HP, damage, etc. that are actually dangerous.
Let me put the question to you then: what is your definition of a scenario of "the shit hits the fan" for a high 50s group? This is the scenario when all the wizards have been talking about how they kick ass.
