It sounded to me like the requirement was

I have n drives and 3 pools,
if there active jobs using pool2 or pool2
  jobs that use pool1 may use any (n - 1) drives
else
  jobs that use pool1 may use n drives

My first stab would be to bump the priority of jobs using pool2 & 3 up
and see how fast they finish. If it's fast enough maybe you don't even
need to worry about reserving drives for pool1 jobs.
