What this means in terms of loot is that if one of your 2 specs can use a certain piece of gear you should need it EVEN IF you are currently not in that spec.
The only time you should ask if needing is ok is if you are rolling for an item you cannot use in either of your 2 specs and so is designated an off-spec item.
But of course things are in flux as people come to grips with this new reality and it is advisable to discuss needing everytime a piece you want drops to avoid conflicts in this tumultous time.
While some of you will certainly be incensed by this policy do remeber that the door swings both ways, in the end the RNG will be the final arbitter being both inscrutable and equal to all participants.
