Quote:So I guess the question should be, what makes a hybrid, hybrid. If it's the ability to perform multiple roles, they can't do that without a respec and a regear, so that's out.
Hence the mention of dual spec. Pretty much any hybrid should be able to, now, push a button and go from healer to DPS or whatever. The gear equation is pretty trivial, given how long people have had to farm (and we'll likely have a few more months, yet, anyways).
Instead of having to get people to park their main outside the instance and stay on vent, to be brought in when we finish the fight that needs 8 healers so we can swap people in and out, we can do it with the same 25 people and a few respecs between boss fights. Much faster - and an incentive to raid comp for a lot of hybrids for min/max flexibility on a fight-per-fight basis.
Is it too much? I personally doubt it. The "pure" that is suffering the most are rogues, and that's only because they do non-competitive DPS at the moment; which should be addressed in the same patch that brings dual specs.
