What's the difference between saying "we need x ability for this fight" or "we need x class (who is the only class who can perform that ability) for this fight"?

The difference is that sometimes, what people view as a neccessary class, is actually just a neccessary function that can be provided in an alternate way via some other class. Simple example:

Priests on Moroes (for Shackle).
Depending on mob-type, you can have these classes sub for that very direct method of CC:

Rogue - Anti-cast lock & kite.
Mage - cs, burst down & kite.
Hunter - trap, pet-tank, self-tank & kite.
Warlock - pet-tank, drain-tank & kite.
Warrior - tank-tank (it's a joke) & kite.
Druid - bear-tank (+anti-cast), dash, cyclone spam / rotation with other methods.
Paladin - fear, tank, heal-spam, stun.
Shaman - Elemental, FROST SHOCK! kite.

I think that's every class, and each one of them has a way to take little or low amounts of dmg while keeping an add occupied. As said earlier, that's simply an easy example of a concept that can be applied to most encounters.

Please keep in mind, I'm not advocating deliberately making an encounter harder (unless you're into that side of things:w00t:) what I'm advocating is trying to keep an open mind when approaching the new content. I've personally seen, or ancedotely heard of nearly every imaginable group composition completing Khara. About the only thing that seems out of whack to me (and something we didn't catch in beta as we used consumables like water. A few select people transferred over the guild bank a few times...) is consumable use. Hopefully the cliff-hanger Tigole threw us addresses that.

Cheerio,
