As a retri pally, I love having replenishment. Combined with my other buffs, it makes me feel useful beyond my damage output, especially when I could theoretically be a tank or healer which are generally more highly regarded. I guess most shadow priests feel the same.

I feel it's different for hunters. Before Wrath came out, I experimented with survival in Kara and after our first run my brother (resto shammy) said "Don't ever spec back to beast mastery." When a class has three DPS specs and one has a "required" buff, there is a strong chance that the other two will be marginalised.

now that is a fair point bigjonno, I would be pretty bummed if I had to spec a certain way in raids just to provide a buff.

though I think if you're group can get the healers it needs, it would become much easier to ensure replenishment without forcing anyone to spec that way.
