Would become a requirement? It is often already one, though most emphasis is put on the disc tree rather than the holy tree. Many guilds will not allow shadow priests to join their raids already.
Our guild alliance requires for the healing classes:
For Priests:
0 points in Shadow;
For Druids:
at least 31 points in Restoration;
For Shamans;
0 points in Elemental; at least 21 points in Restoration;
I concur that with an improved priest holy tree, druids would run the risk of losing their raid slots in favor of more priests. Though I would like to see a revamped holy tree for my priestess, I personally do not consider this to be the highest priority.
The Blizzard post looks good: The double layer raid content in AhnâQiraj sounds promising, as well as finally new non raid content in form of a massive influx of questlines in Silithus and improvements to the Darkmoon Faire.
