It's not too hard to understand that there's an understood "in between" loot rule in most guilds. That is, there's something in between main-spec and off-spec.

For example, if a Belt of the Tortured dropped (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40260) and I was ML, I would (almost) always give it to a Rogue or Feral Druid first for main spec, then a Hunter or Enhancement Shaman for "not quite main spec but you'll equip it right this second" then after all of those people were taken care of, any boomkin/elemental shaman/etc who might want to bank it for a while.

Same would go for a Cowl of Sheet Lightning (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39295). Cloth casters first, druid/shaman/pally casters next, offspecs last.

Call it "main spec, off-armor" if you like, and while not all guilds subscribe to this policy (allowing a Rogue and Hunter to duke it out over a leather belt, or allowing the same Hunter and a Boomkin to fight over it), it's the most common that I've seen.
