Sorry, but I don't feel your pain about 'limiting' frost mages from being able to fireball or arcane blast people. You didn't use that ability anyway.

"Giving up, and reworking the system so you restrict people from what they formerly could do are two different things."

Err... not really. When you have a system that controls what people can do (through a combination of both adding abilities and making others stupid to use) then giving up on that system as fatally flawed will necessarily change what people can do; if it doesn't, then you haven't actually changed anything.

As far as the hybrid healers goes, tho, I'm still inclined to the opinion that the +x% to healing spec bonuses should be baked into the heals (at least partially); the lack of mana regen while healing combined with the limited heal selection should keep it from getting too absurd. On the other hand, I can see their worry, when enhancement shaman or ret paladins will have mana pools as large as that of healers.
