I've always found the Davies-penned episodes to be somewhat uneven. For every "Tooth & Claw" he'd give us one of the several episodes with deus ex machina endings and Doctor-as-divine allegories that were as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face. Dunno if he overextended himself or if he can't figure out another way to write finales while maintaining an "epic" quality or what's happening there.
I did think he improved in a big way during series 4 though. It'd be a shame if his big exit was below par.
