"It simply comes down to, if you want to progress faster, you go raid spec."

This is the biggest lie I ever heard. If you want to progress faster you spec for the role you play. If you end up not having enough healers and have a shadow priest heal instead of DPS you will not progress as fast. But this is not because the Shadow Priest is there. It is because the raid is not balanced with the correct roles. Some classes play multiple roles in raids and any tree should be viable if the player filling the role is geared and speced for the role.

Warriors - Tank/Melee DPS
Priests - Heal/Caster DPS
Druids - Heal/Tank/Melee DPS/Caster DPS (Jack of all trades master of none)

Forcing specs is a great way to bore your players and lose em. If you don't have enough healers (Resto Druids, Holy Pallys, Holy Priests, Resto Shaman) get more. Don't force the more flexible dps versions of those classes into specs.
