Take the player, not the class

Currently you are right. If the dual spec system goes live with hot swaping allowed during raids then the utility of hybrid classes goes through the roof. For example, being able to take a strong DPS spec like boomkin and switch it between encounters to a strong healing spec like resto suddenly makes druids a lot more desirable than a mage.

The only classes that will really suffer from this problem will be hunters, mages, warlocks and rogues, but in compensation those pure classes are being designed to have slightly higher theoretical DPS. The gap is just going to be far smaller than it used to be so that skill can lead to the real differences.

I'm only leveling my hybrids.
