Red hair is the master hair. Deal with it.
Never heard of one. Whatās it called?
Dude Retail hyperinflation didnāt happen until WoD ā¦ thatās 4 expansions AFTER blizzard brought duel spec to the gameā¦ so this argument you have is completely invalid bud.
You probably wonāt believe this but I actually am a red head 
Naw hyper inflation started when they added the wow token, which they justified by saying they were combating gold selling sweat shops in China and WoD garrisons (which the vast majority of the community did not benefit from gold wise).
Talented classic. Itās on curseforge.
People were screaming for dual spec during the original BC. The only reason it took till wotlk to get was thatās how long it took for them to get it right.
Iāll accept the ship has sailed on getting dual spec implemented for TBC. Itās probably too heavy a lift for the dev team to get it in. But statements that dual spec was somehow tied to the class design of WoTLK are just flat out false.

No. More DPS means you kill the Boss faster and get through problem phases faster. Itās the same reason the first thing you drop is a healer for more DPS.
This is Raiding 101.
Ok but lets say you donāt have any extra people to fill the raid and not every boss in the raid requires the same number of healers?
no dual spec until bg queue times are less than 20 minutes
Iām not talking about your bench.
Any fight where you think a hybrid build will be helpful is a fight where youād be better off going full on DPS so the Boss dies faster. As I said this is basic Raiding.
If you have issues on a Boss thatās usually bad DPS making the fight go longer. And Smite Priest is never the answer to that math problem.
You should be happy your Guild lets you run a meme spec like that since they obviously donāt care about performance. Even with that all Dual spec would do is allow you to play an optimized spec for the role thatās needed.
The problem I have with the people advocating for dual spec is you could use this argument to justify almost any change from a future expansion.
Iād really like shockwave for tanking, it would make a lot more warriors tank, and solve a problem with the game. But if I made threads asking for it, people would tell me to wait until WotLK.
I donāt see how asking for dual spec early is any different than asking for any other expansion feature or change early. Yeah, itās got a lot of people that want it, and itās arguably positive for the game. But Iāve just never seen a convincing argument as to why you canāt wait one expansion.

So your solution is to bench players and bring others in? While yes that would be more optimal it seems rather undesirable to force people to sit on fights just because itās not the ideal comp. Hybrid builds are an alternative to forcing people to sit.

Thatās exactly what guilds did in actual BC. Class stacking was pretty bad come SWP. Blizzards reaction to late BC class stacking was class homogenization and the ābring the player, not the classā philosophy. Devs have admitted in the past that early wowās hybrid design didnāt really work in practice, because youāre better off swapping out for pures.
Where did I say that? I said using a meme spec is never the answer.
Any fight that you think you need extra heals can be covered by you just fine in Shadow spec.
Any fight that you need more DPS can be covered by you in Holy spec.
If neither of those is cutting it itās a Raid comp and/or player skill issue.
Hows this for a stat. Random dungeon finder had the satchel system implemented to encourage people to queue as tank. If dual spec had a noticeable impact on tanks, why would new measures be put into place?
