Spell Immunity is not a fair Mechanic

Explaining this a little better. The immunity of some bosses makes it so certain talent specs cannot be used at all. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT SPELL RESISTS, SPELL RESISTS ARE COMPLETLY FINE. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT THE BOSSES AND MOBS THAT ARE IMMUNE TO CERTAIN SCHOOLS OF MAGIC.

The Mechanic of Immunity is a completely pointless one, Blizzard probally meant for it to make us think up different strategies for the classes that can't use the spell that is immune, but it has just turned into a replace the character that can't do 100% DPS because of immunity with someone who can, and the people who aren't replaced are basically just taking up a raid spot. The mechanic is pointless because of how easy it is to bypass.

We try to be careful about how we put spell immunities onto mobs and bosses. We feel we've done a good job with balancing these out, and there shouldn't be any need for players to have to respec in order to get past them though it should still give a challenge.

We still want to hear feedback from players when an encounter seems off-kilter, however, and will look into these as they are brought up to make sure that they truly are balanced the way we would like them to be. More than one sentence explaining the why and how though, would go a long way for helping us figure out which ones you're having difficulties with.
