All other melee classes already have this sillyness with their animations for some of their transmoggable weapons. Fury of the eagle on survival hunter is meant for a spear so if you transmog into an axe you will poke people with the blunt top of your over and over slowly. Warrior animations are mainly for axe/mace/sword so if you use a spear you will never thrust despite it being a thrusting weapon. And alot of swords are thrusting weapons not slashing weapons like you use a rapier and a schimitar in different ways, you could even argue that dagger animations would fit beter for rapier than sword animation does. Sorry its a long ramble but the point is all other melee classes have more choice if they want slightly scuffed animations in exchange for using a preferd weapon, the only speccs that dont get thus option is assassination and sub rogues.
