Quote:As someone who spends between 120-250g a week spec'ing for PvP/arenas and back to raiding, I absolutely cannot wait for this feature.
It's not just the gold - it's the convenience. I have to plan out when I'm going to arena and raid in order to avoid having to respec/reglyph more than 4 times a week. Now I can quickly change spec any time and get a few arena games in without feeling like I'm throwing money down the toilet. I also hate playing in Battlegrounds as a PvE spec, but do so anyway a lot of the time because dumping another 100g is prohibitive. No longer!
Besides, disc is just more fun than holy as a Priest. Penance is SUCH a fun healing spell, but I have to give it up for Guardian Spirit, Spiritual Guidance, and Circle of Healing. Blah.
If the 1000g cost seems excessive, then it sounds like you're not the kind of player that respecs often. If that's true, then just don't pay the 1k gold - it's not mandatory, after all. If you only respec once every few months due to patch changes or whatever, it's better to just pay the small fees then and ignore the dual spec feature. But 1k gold is a meager 20 respecs (not even counting reglyph costs) for people who do so every week.

I really really really cannot wait for this feature. While prot-dps and prot-pvp can be fun. I miss the ol' Shalandrax running around with a 2h on 'er back. And truthfully its always just after I spec from tank that I get a tell from someone asking for a heroic. Sure I could tank it as arms - but folks are whispering ME because they want a heavy weight tank they've come to know and love. It would be wrong for me to not deliver. I end up remaining prot more often than not.
