Dual spec importance.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank you for all that you've done.

This post is being made to try and reinforce the importance of duel specs to me and what I feel might be a significant portion of the player base.


Most of the post I read over are all about hypothetical and pseudo-empirical data.

What I mean is, All i see are post like this:

Fix X "pure" class because some skillful "hybrid" out-DPS'ed my by .002%!!!!
or,
Retribution paladins aren't viable in arena because of how I feel when i duel people"

Now, they don't actually say this... but this is a break down of what they are basically saying.

Now, these may or may not be issues... but they aren't here and now issues. They are issues that can easily be put on the back burner until more and more players hit endgame.

So, with that said, I want to stress the importance of Duel specs.
It is incredible detrimental to a type of class. Basically, the type of class that can spec for DPS or spec to heal or tank. Leveling as a healer build is at best a practice of frustration and at worst an act of masochism. I understand that a very small amount of the player base has no qualms about leveling as a healer and drinking every 10 seconds...though, I doubt seriously they are a large group.

So I bequeath you... please implement Duel specs post haste, then worry about making Warlocks more arena viable (id est, when Arena is in full swing), or balancing classes for raids (This can honestly wait until you implement some serious non-entry level raids.)
