Q u o t e:
each of these values assumes you're speccing for the appropriate role. tanking druids don't have an 8 for healing. you're at 9 for tanking WHEN you're tank specced. 8 for healing WHEN you're heal specced
so you think paladins heal at a 6 when specced for it?
your model was 6/8(currently 9)/6...
I'm on the wrong games forums, because we don't play the same game.

Q u o t e:
Lol better. Paladins are still easily the best single/dual target healers. AoE healing is dead last.
I'd go 10 for single/dual target and 5 for AoE healing.
Oh, Oh. What happens if there are multiple specialty roles within each role? Like AoE and single-target healing? What about AoE and single-target tanking? How about primarily physical damage and primarily magic damage tanking? What about normal versus hard-mode tanking? How about AoE versus single-target DPS?

Since this is clearly a whine about DPS, why is it in the tanking forums?
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

We only recognize two types of classes:
Can respec to fulfill a different role = hybrid.
Cannot respec to fulfill a different role = pure.
The roles are tank, healing and damage.
In our design, having two healing trees (priest) or half a tanking tree (druid) or three dps trees (DK) does not put these classes in different categories of hybridness. A hybrid is a hybrid.
It's the roles that your class lets you do that is important, not how those roles are organized into talent trees. The paladin is one way to organize the trees (a tanking tree, healing tree and melee dps tree) but not the only way. However, there is a reason we don't do this for every class -- it would be boring.
IMHO, the WoW community has a tendency to want to categorize things too much.
