Patch Day: Dual Spec

1,000 gold for dual specialization
Considering how potentially convenient this is, I'd say paying a thousand gold for dual spec'ing is a pretty good deal. Back in the day of Burning Crusade raiding, there were days I would respec twice a day. (Shadow for dailies and 5-man dps, holy for nightly TK/SSC raids)

Right now I'm shadow spec for leveling. I've run a few lich king instances and healed with a shadow spec. It's doable, but a little challenging without the holy spec benefits. It would be in the group's best interest if I respec'd holy, but:
  1. It gets v. expensive, v. fast.
  2. My mana pool and gear can handle healing a non-heroic instance
  3. All of the deaths would have occurred even if I were Holy spec
Not only does dual specialization allow me the ability to switch specs at a whim, (Do I feel evil today? Why, yes I do! Fumes: arise!) dual spec lets me have two sets of glyphs. Instead of having a generic leveling-instancing mix, I can focus on convenient leveling ones for shadow, and group-benefiting ones for holy. Also, I no longer have to manually assign talent points every time I respec. Glee!
