Classy dual-spec guides

Servers are still down for maintenance due to Patch 3.1, so now would be a great time think of the list of things you'll have to do once you log in. Let's see ... you've bought all the gems enchants you need; you've got your talent calculator all ready to go; you've parked yourself in an old-world capital city to buy dual-spec as soon as you log in. You're ready to go!
But the question may remain -- what exactly are you going to pick for your offspec?
Don't worry, we've got you covered! We've compiled dual-spec guides for each of your classes.
Death Knight • Druid • Hunter • Mage • Paladin • Priest • Rogue • Shaman • Warlock • Warrior
Get crackin' and be ready to raid (or whatever it is you'll be doing) when servers come up. Remember: being prepared takes class!
Patch 3.1 is live and it takes us into Ulduar, delivers us dual specs, and brings significant changes to all the classes! We've got you covered from top to bottom with our Guide to Patch 3.1 and the official patch notes!Filed under: Patches, Analysis / Opinion

I dont see a Duel Spec Guide there, only thing i see is a Blank Screen.

Same... But there are links to all the classes right below that link... However, they likely point to outdated material!
The lock article is definitely in need of a revamp.
"Speccing deep Affliction can provide the raid with Malediction"
The article is from a month ago, and the Malediction talent has been updated since.

do you really need a guide to "learn" to dual-spec?
I'm sure everyone has played as more than one spec at some point...

Holy Paladin Dual Specs:
Main - PVE - 51/2/18
Off - PVP - 37/0/34 (Repent/JOTW) - Still debatable on its worth

I am still trying to create a 2nd PVE spec for my rogue. Maybe go for throwing specialization and the Fan of Knives glyph just to max my damage when killing trash. Will depend on if the Ulduar trash is better on single targets or aoe I guess.

Also, Will Ferrell is possibly the most unfunny man in existence.
Though for some unfathomable reason, the yanks love him.

Will Ferrell is brilliant, you smelly pirate hooker. Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island?

More links to Duel Specs guides that already exist? How is a Duel Specing guide differ from a class guide? Instead of picking one, you go 2! OMG. :O
Personally, if you don't know enough about your main 80's class or level 40+ alt for Duel Specs, maybe you shouldn't be spending 1k on a class you have no business playing. ._.;
Whether to go DPS/Heal, DPS/Tank, Heal/Tank or PVP/PVE... That's a personal choice based on play style, meaning how long are you willing wait in LFM and are you on a PVP server?

If you were a man, I would punch you. I'd punch you right in the mouth.
That's bush... Bush league.
