What makes your character unique is how well you play no matter what spec you are.
I disagree, certain playstyles were only possible because of the ability to hybridize. No amount of skill will bring that back.
I personally use to have a very hybrid hunter back when traps were important. The mix of marks and survival allowed me to be a master traper, while keeping my dps real high. I can't do that anymore. I mean I can still trap like a champ, but you won't see me able to do the things I use to do. I use to be able to CC two to three mobs and make it look easy without frost trap kiting, but I currently can't because I need 5 more points or the ability to hybridize to do it. I could do do two, for a 45 seconds to a minute, if I don't get resisted. I will grant under particular situations I could still do three, but they have to be melee, and I gotta have a lot of runnin room for frost trap kiting. With my old hybrid build I could do a grade CCing, while still getting first rank dps on bosses. Now I have to choose one or the other.
Gear == skill, so don't even go there.
Anyone worth their salt in any class had a hybrid somewhere and 9 times out of ten had 15+ points in another tree.
