I personally love this column so no offense to Scott, or the person who wrote in, but they both made the article confusing.

Warrior - main spec dps, was asked to tank a certain fight. A paladin, the guild leader, was also a tank. A tanking mace dropped and they both rolled for it. Warrior won. GL got pissy.

The person who wrote in made it sound like the mace that dropped was a DPS mace and he gave it to the person who's main spec was dps. Then Scott made it clear that the mace was for tanking and obviously shouldn't have went to the person who's main spec was DPS (which I am with him 100% on main spec>off spec). The later on Scott says the Pally could have rolled on dps gear making it seem like he confused the person who was asked to tank to be a pally and not a warrior.

Since I have read through it a couple times I understand the story and my opinion is main spec>off spec. Because, had a dps weapon dropped the warrior who tanked would have wanted it I am sure, and even though the guild leader did do some cry baby things, I would have to hope he would give the dps weapon to the main spec dps.
