Of course, class balance comes into play somewhat, but other than those requirements, people are allowed to play their spec. All priests/druids/pallies may be required to heal at times. All druids/priests/pallies will help buff. All tanks may be asked to help tank a boss's adds. (Feral druids may get tossed in the tank mix, too) These are all part of being X class. But you're not forced to do it all the time. Less burnout that way.

While I agree that, without variation, raiding would be incredibly boring, there are times when you need to rigidly adhere to the "normal" style of raiding. If you're doing an instance for the first time, you're going to want your Priests healing (and Disc/Holy or Holy/Disc is probably the best spec for this), your Warriors tanking (either full Prot or the 15-point Arms variant, dependant on a variety of factors), and everyone else DPSing or healing with the most efficient spec for that. After you have the instance in question on farming status, then there's absolutely no reason to goof around and have fun - though I think you already know this :)
