Are repeating articles, such as Shifting Perspectives, posted on scheduled days or whenever you have materials or ideas to share?

All of the class/spec columns are weeklies. The confusion comes, I think, because generally speaking different spec columns all share the same name. And it's inconsistent whether or not there are different columns for a different spec; Warriors, Mages, Hunters, Rogues, Death Knights, and Warlocks all have just one column, priests have two (split by role), while druids, shamans, and paladins have three (and the druid split is all about the columnists, not the specs, really; bear and resto in one column while kitties and boomkins each have their own).

To clarify off Boobah; We try and split all of the class roles into their own weekly column as demand sees it. Warriors and Death Knights haven't been split into two different columns because their respective writers generally keep very good pace with both their tanking and DPS roles.
Druids are slightly awkward somewhat due to how it all came about. Originally, Allison handled all three druid specs. However, she primary plays as a bear and restoration druid and she didn't feel like she was able to give balance druids, whom were growing in popularity, the quality of information we like to provide. I was then brought in to cover that side of druids while Allison kept on with feral/restoration information.
More recently, druids have become an increasing popular class with more and more readers asking for either more feral or more restoration information. Allison found that having only one article a week to dedicate to all three aspects she was covering -- Cat, Bear, and healing -- just wasn't keeping pace. This prompted us to bring in Chase to cover all of the Cat information. That's why the druid columns seem a little off-ish in comparison to, say, paladins.
