I've actually had a 20minute long discussion with a game master on this.

From what he said, i understand that blizzard's game engine can't do the following:
- Determine what spec you are.
- Determine what your primary stat is.

That means that, as long as there's "Dps" set, you can roll on dps items. In your example, you said MDps and RDps; this is not what you meant. In fact, Wow can't distinguish between dps at all; only by class can they see a difference.

Of course, there are solutions to this. For instance, stating "I'm going to go as a feral kitteh; i'm rolling on leather/agi gear." However,that means i can queue as a kitteh and roll on boomkin gear. That's gonna have some complaints. (Arguably, if you're rolling for OS and play your MS, your MS has the loot - so it is, in fact, to the groups' benefit. But that's not the point)
