Wonder if Blizz will fix this gear fight between classes in cataclysm? Instead of having a hunter and shaman fight over one piece of mail, why not make it so that it is 'shaman only' or 'mage only.' Add some real diversity to the game for the "casual" player.

Sweet Zombie Jesus, did you play in Vanilla?

Nothing, NOTHING takes the wind out of a good raid more then putting two or three hours of work into a tough boss only to see loot drop that no one can use.

Crossover loot was one of the best things to come out of TBC and they'd be fools to stop it.

hunters and enhance shaman will fortunately be sharing mail agility armor come cataclysm, and since armor penetration is gone, there should be a lot better itemization. Expertise is still an issue (hopefully blizz puts expertise on all shaman tier pants like they do on plate pants to help the hancers out, and maybe adds a talent similar to what feral druids have in giving enhancers free expertise).

At lower gear levels you can probably use so agility leather too, as the 5% armor specialization bonus won't matter all that much if you are in quest greens.
