Quote:Prot warriors are so specialized, they're not very good in any other role than tanking. Until that problem is addressed, druids will end up DPSing when they'd rather be tanking, and pallies will end up on other stuff *because they can*. Is it right? Not really. Is it likely to continue? Yes.
I just want to qualify this comment with this: How much this comes into play depends on the guild/raidleader. Some, like Skan seems to be, are more focused on results than class, but there's a lot of raidleaders/guild leaders who are stuck in the old ways that pigeonholed most of the hybrids. That's people, and you have to change their minds, no matter how good your class is at another job. And all the debate on here won't change some of those people. If you, as a druid or pally, want to tank in endgame content, you have to find the right guild, first, before you can get to do the things you want to do.
Yes, my quoted comment is true. However, that doesn't mean that druids don't ever get to tank. It means that you haven't found the right place to do it yet, IMO.
