Dual specs incoming at last?

Im sure this info is all over the place now, but here is what info I have gathered from my fellow bloggers on dual specs. (Subject to change or wiping at any point in time, especially if it looks good.)

• Level 80 players only. (May change later.)
• Two specs only (May change later. Great for true hybrids that may want to tank, heal dps, PVP etc etc.)
• Respeccing will take place at a Lexicon of power (In citys or summoned by a scribe, much like Soul Wells or perverted wardrobes/summoning stones.)
• Your secondary spec will be saved, and you can view it at any point in time. (My interperetation of how this will work: what your current spec, glyphs and hotbar layout is will be saved as your alternative spec, for a quick change back later.)
• Glyphs will be displayed along with your talent tree now as they are tied.
• Glyphs will change along with your spec. (If saved)
• Hotbars will change along with your spec. (If saved)
• Gear wont be “saved” as such, but blizzard will be including its own version of Outfitter/Item rack which will allow you to quickly switch between saved gear sets.
• Hunters will get an ability to access stables remotely with a cooldown. (Primarily for when dual speccing into or out of Beast mastery to swap your exotic pets in and out.)
• Pets talent trees will reset every time you change spec, instead of it being remembered. An inconvenience, but as compensation pet respecs are free.
• And, for me: The biggest change to smile about – When doing your talent points – you need to “save” to apply the changes. Yey! No more 50G cock ups when you mis-click a talent you don’t want. (It will still happen, but you can review your talents before accepting)

The changes are more suited to hybrid classes, but everyone will benefit, be it a change in attack style, (for me, arcane or frostfire builds, or maybe frost for aoe grinding them shoveltusks or boosting in lower level instances.) for PVP or for a specific encounter.

It will take setting up, and some changes are again, something that should have been done at the launch of Vanilla WOW – not 4 years down the line, but overall – I think this will help us out a lot.

Damn. Now I really want to get a group of 5 druids going as a leveling group for fun :p can all hop between tanking, melee, casting or healing whenever we feel like it! Hehe. (Well, 4 druids and a rogue would be more flexible, but still!)
