Why did you dual spec one of your team into DPS/Healer? What are the fights that you really need to shift one of your alts into a different role? Why isn't doable having Tank+4 DPS?


This is in soloing perspective not because you need to dual spec so that you can join raids or BGs with other people.

Please tell us your Tank+4DPS group and why did you dual spec your other DPS into a Healer.

I have enough Triumphs to complete my set and I wanna make sure if it's safe to go Healer first or stick to DPS just in case it's necessary to dual spec 1 of my DPS

Thanks
I just went through this decision myself. I'm running 4 shaman and a friend is the tank. I have two big reasons for dual spec:
1. To have a separate set of hotbars for "healer mode"
2. Earth shield is a big win. It really let's my dps go all out.

So, I can have 3 dps going all out and one shaman healing without having to go through contortions with keys/macros. My dps rotation is easily accomplished with the first 6 hotkeys and my heals can be done with the other 6 (and a few other keys for targeting). I like to have every shaman set up the same way for pvp, so that any of them can take over as head, which makes it a little difficult to be set up to dps and heal from the same hotbar.
