I've had similar experiences. As I posted in another thread, "My first team of ten is between ilvl 619 and 627. I've yet to set foot in a heroic or even a regular level 100 dungeon. I'm not raiding Highmaul yet, but my followers are starting to. They get a mission called "Highmaul Raid" once you get a group of them to (follower ilvl) 645. They give your toon a piece of ilvl 655 gear when successful."

Thanks for the update on the nerf. I run out of level 100 missions very quickly, even with 20 level 100 followers. Sounds like it will still be worth it to keep a handful of followers between 95-99 for a shot at additional big boxes of salvage. A chance is better than the zero % chance you have by just having more idle level 100 followers.
