"I can see it being a need or greed nightmare"....

yeah, Blizzard have to be very carefull concerning that too... as i said, it can be done with cooldown and some tweaks regarding thigs such as the one you mentioned.. but they have to be really clever not mess the experience.

"
Edit: My brother now plays a warlock while I used to. I quit before TBC. He now reports that he does more (raid) damage with a destruction spec than with an affliction spec! How retarded is this? It's incredibly hard to play an affliction warlock right, it should do the most damage, like it's always done."

Since TBC, 1 button destruction spamming has always out dpsed affliction

I'm sure anyone who plays a hybrid class will all join me in saying:

This change can't come soon enough.

Nothing to do with the upcoming changes, but yes, 10k attack power is indeed sick ;)

@Benno "Since TBC, 1 button destruction spamming has always out dpsed affliction "

:-( That's just retarded.

In the pre-TBC days I used to be in my guild's damage top 5 (sometimes top 3), the lone warlock among mages and rogues. It took a lot of effort and micro-management, but it was fun. My brother plays his warlock as a mage... such a shame.

Of course the coolest thing I've done was tank at the Twin Emperors.

"if I can't complete something with a ridiculous dps spec I'll just flip to prot."

You can do that anyway, this just makes it easier to do so.

"Not to mention that there are few sights sadder than watching a holy priest or prot warrior trying to level. :)"

I know this was said in jest, but I seriously had no problems levelling as a prot warrior at all. I got to 57 without changing spec (although I did respec finally in the end just to try playing a warrior differently, but I just missed not being able to sit and soak up vast amounts of damage).

I think this idea of dual-speccing could work well for getting into a group quickly to tackle instances/raids, and it also doesn't punish people for respeccing when they only want that build for a few hours at a time.

Best idea Blizz has had since sliced bread. And they didn't even invent that one!

If i dont completly misunderstand the info around "dual-spec" there will be some difficulty regarding where and how to respec.. U cant respec inside a doungeon or a raid, if u go in a raid as a prot pally u have to be that althrough the raid,, but ofc i can be wrong,, and yes you would need to carry aroud 2 sets of gear,, no point in trying to heal in tanking gear
