Honestly while I do love the idea of new specs, truely I’d love to see a Caster Dps that’s Holy damage, could go to Priest or Paladin (be the first plate wearer caster which be amazing).
After a lot of thought I’d rather they release a new class and for current classes try rework talents, I think the major downfall for most specs is theirs always must pick Talents, if reworked old specs could feel new with talents changing the play style.
Think of it as restoring a vintage car, while yes it’s old it still feels new to the owner, same could go with old Classes/Specs, talents could change how the class feels not being funneled into one type for M+ and another for Raiding and PvP.
It truely depends on how Blizzard goes, new specs sound great, I’d love it too, but I’d hate to lose a new class or talent reworks aswell. In a perfect world I’d love everything to happen but that’s just greedy of me.
Edit: Realistically, I’m sure Blizzard will go for an easier path, just open up more or all class restrictions, it be a lot easier to reskin Druid Forms and Totems. All classes share now the same animations regardless of race, all races have stealth animations just seems more realistic. Which I’m not against either. Just they’ve truely made it easier for themselves going down this route.

The problem with adding classes like rangers and bards is the community.
Y’all think rangers are hunters or only use a bow and bards are magical musicians.
The only bard that would work in WoW would be either a DnD college of valour or college of sword bard, or a college of healing bard. Not too sure if college of healing bards are official or home brew though.
Either way, my dnd college of valour bard does not play an instrument in battle. He shoots fireballs at large groups, then misty steps behind enemies engaged with party members to stabby them with combat advantage and generally tear sh*t up all the while spot healing the group cause Bards melt face and look good doing it. 
Edit: And my bard wears mail……like a third mail class would be great in WoW huh?
I just want a new healer or a ranged dps spec for shockadin

I don’t think that works.
They will glow with green! Green shields!
Technically it does. It’s just that if you’re not a demon then the side-effects will make you wish you still had the wound.
Ranged warrior spec pls, I got about 150 gun mogs I can’t use 
Havoc, Vengeance, aren’t bad,
But I’m not an appraiser.
Give us ranged we’ve never had,
and call this new spec, Razer.
We need a technology class for Goblins and Gnomes first. Once we get the technology class, then we can move on to new specs. It would be odd to abandon classes when we have a huge steampunk theme (even including races who are a part of that theme) and no class that covers it.
Eh, prefer new classes, everything is fresh.

The only real issue I see with this is a niche one. Certain classes have the specs they have due to a certain lore reason. Demon hunters have havoc and vengeance as a direct result of acquiring books with those specific traits and teaching them.
Third generation Death Knights empower their weapons with the specific runes of Blood, Frost and Unholy; despite other rune magics existing. Adding an additional spec would require additional backstory etc and as long as it’s done properly it would be a great change.
As stated by others though, regardless of the benefits, it would be a tremendous workload to be done correctly, and even then it would be a lot.
An example that comes to mind in favor of this would be monks. Their specs are directly tied to the Celestial they represent. Xuen for WW and Nizauo for Brew; with the exception being that the remaining 2 Celestials both represent MW. Adding a fourth spec to capitalize on Chi Ji or Yulon would allow that specific theme to be better appreciated.
Interesting idea if not a novel one.
