Pally tanks and Shaman dps

in World of Warcraft
i was just reading a game informer intreview on WoW that was talking about the pallys and shammys being availble to horde/ally. In this interview they say this may help were pallys can be tanks and not healers and shammys can be dps. If this is true i like it but i would like to see everyone elses view.

    I would much rather have a warrior tank over a pally.

    That change alone is not enough to have that happen.  Pally are getting another aggro thing in BC which may help.

    In the end though anyone who can heal is usually forced to.  I don't expect Blizzard to do anything about that.  Just look at their sets and itemization and you can see where their focus is.

    The game is one big scavenger hunt afterall.  Just watch itemization and you know what they are doing.  There really is nothing else to the game besides that.

    ya i got agree when i read the article it made me laugh. i was thinking so what they gave each farction pallys/shammys that doesnt mean they get to change roll that means that raids just have more altenatives for what there taking. but it wouldd be cool if pallys didnt have to heal so much lo9l but maybe i think that cause im a ret spec.

    Well... If they really intend to open up the raid instances and require particpation they may intend for Pallys to act as OT more often in battles with lots of mobs.  As for Shammy DPS, its entirely possible they can play that role already given their guild allows them.

    I guess in both cases in depends on the guild, but the main part is that the role of Paly and Shammy will change more in 5 and 10 man instances, where more Pallies can tank and Shaman's can DPS.

    who wouldn't? This will not do anything to change the paladins role in end game raiding.   It might however change the shaman's role.  What alliance doesn't realize is how absurdly innefficient Shaman heals and totems are.  So maybe we will see more dps shamans in the future, the new 41 point elemental talent for shamans is a doozy, 10% crit bonus for everyone within range of the totem, I forsee many more raiding elemental shamans in the future.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
