Healers who raid and PVP..still no solo spec

So today I switched my paladins dual spec from holy PVE/holy PVP, over to holy PVE/ret, just so I could do a whole pile of quests. Of course the whispers never stop "can you heal this heroic?", "hey we should make this new 3v3 team, you heal", etc..

A holy PVE spec is that way for a reason. You skip critical PVP talents, glyphs so you can heal your butt off in raids and keep everyone alive. A PVP spec is obviously not going to cut in Ulduar.


So I'm sure theres others like me who are still respecing, reglyphing constantly. I'm jealous of my rogue friend, he has 2 specs and he'll never drop another dime on respecs unless major patches change him significantly. Of course the same could still happen for healers.




So obviously, I'm requesting a third spec. And no, I don't think we should be forced to pay 5000g for it. I am a healer at heart, but sometimes I just feel like DPSing a battleground for once, or running a bunch of quests in a DPS spec. Why should we pay 100g in back and forth, then extra gold for glyphs on top of all that?

The kicker -- PVP glyphs. Holy shock, still pushing 110g+ on my realm. No guildies can make it. Turn evil, 40-50g, glyph of salv, 40-50g.

Questing is just taking 5 day long steps forward to take 3 steps back because it all gets eaten up in respecs and reglyphing.


Generic "everyone gets 2 specs" does not work when pure DPS only need 2 specs and hybrids need more.
