Tiesto like most big name artists have relied heavily upon other producers to push his work. Oakenfold with Grey and Osbourne did the same, Sasha with Charlie May and others, Digweed with Nick Muir.
Tiesto used some samples of things for his songs, his Traffic song used a sample of techno producer Sean Deason's Pyskofuk (sp?). Tiesto is just doing what made others very, very rich. Look at Norman Cook, he has used tons of samples for years (he's paid for the rights to the samples) and he's done well.
Yes some of old EDM heads may hate tiesto's direction now but his business sense is certainly not stupid. If you can't make a riff that you like, use a part of someone's else (with permission of course). Just don't end up like Mauro Picotto who stole blue fear and lost a suit because of it.

DJ's producing their own music or not?
