Hunters / Deterrence: Design changed to grant 100% parry and 100% chance to "deflect" spells coming from the front, but prevents the Hunter from attacking. Lasts 5 seconds and has a 90 second cooldown.

Should be interesting.

Morah prefers to DPS, I'm spending most of my time as our only tree, Dar is still gearing, Petit is able to heal as well, you're actually our only permanent full time tank at the moment so I don't think you need to worry about that.

Well, I like the flexibility... so off-tank is a position I'm quite happy with in raids, can mix-and-match as needs dictate (and come dual spec, I'll likely also do resto... though that'll mean more gear and learning a whole new play style). My current build is more tank focused than dps focused (and Kitty dps is a bit of a mind-f**k these days :D)

lol I have no idea what this dual spec is all about probably cause I don't really believe it will ever work right so don't want to get to excited, however I think I will probably go healing as dual if it ever happens. maybe !!  Will always have tank as my main because thats what I love most:)

Yeah, theory being that I *think* Petit is planning to be mostly tank specced, ....

No, I'm planning to be able to do both. I always was the healing bitch and since I found out I healed all the raids and heroics with lvl 70-healing spells I am not so frustrated anymore. So plan is: if we need a pally healer, I'll be there and if we need an OT I can jump in.  :)

Dual spec is delayed so they can make it work right, it's supposed to swap talents, glyphs, and action bars according to which spec you have active.  Originally it was going to be a simple talent swap but they realised that wasn't really that much use when swapping glyphs can cost more than the respec:)

You mean hurt the wallets of healers and tanks, right?  Respeccing to heal or tank things has cost me 1500g since 3.0, respecs have cost you under 200g so why am I not surprised to see a DPS class in favour of expensive respecs...

Currently when you respec you need to reglyph, under the dual spec system when you switch specs your glyphs will also switch to whatever you bought when you set up that spec.

One small side effect of the addition of an ink vendor (for inscriptions) is that the price of minor inscriptions and Northrend Darkmoon cards should start to fall in the AH. Major inscriptions probably won't be shift in cost (well, they might increase slightly).

In fact, having thought about it some more, I predict Blizz will hotfix in a cooldown for the Darkmoon card production. So I'd better make as many as possible over the next few days  ;D
