Right now all tier pieces (from what I can remember off the top of my head) for Druids are resto focused sets, however with SoD being focused on opening up other specs and the fact that feral Druids are brought for Wildstrikes on Alliance side, is there any plan to retool the sets, add new variations of the sets (like was done in BC with multiple versions of the same set just named differently) or will there be enough offset pieces for Feral and Balance Druids to gear up so they don’t lag behind in progression.
The same question can be asked for any of the classes that are now filling new roles or non-traditional (from classic’s perspective) i.e. is Warlock going to be left in the dust at 60 because they didn’t have a tank spec and so their tier gear does not reflect that.
Hopefully you have already thought about this, if not hope this has made you think about the issue that will exist at 60.

I would echo all the comments regarding not having any 40mans. A lot of us would feel obligated to do the content (unless the rewards are just inferior…) And while I love SOD as a raid leader one of the best parts has been the casual management of it all. Managing a 40man roster is a full time job and not one I could support 
20man I could live with, 10man would work too

right but alts sitting in the mid 30’s are running dry on quests and money has been nearly impossible lately. This can’t come soon enough
But none of this was an exploit, it was actually grind on legitimate content playing the game as it was intended early and often and then get screwed.
Each of these phases are practically new expansions.
You level to max.
You raid.
There really wasn’t much discovering to be done when raids are built and the BiS rewards are there.
I want gold refunds for the two characters I paid full price for. Need gold for 1.8k epic mount costs down the road…
not for the main but alts pretty much priced out of the game
that would be me, oh well it is only gold I will get plenty more leveling up alts according to the increased amount promised.

I’d say if possible keep them at 20, as much as I loved the 40 man raid experience I feel things are a lot more easy and still quite fun to recruit 20 than having to scrounge up to 40 players ready to raid and at the level you would like them to be at. Also imagine a healing spec Rogue? Apothecary Rogue got a cool ring to it no?
There seems to be so much focus on rewards for raiding and PVE content, and as someone who really enjoys PVP over PVE it feels like we have been left out. I think you need to show some love for the PVP community and introduce PVP reward sets for ranks, maybe a new battleground or just a revamped battleground thats new and refreshing. There has been alot of people upset about 1 shot meta and how everyone is dead in fights that last 3-4 seconds. Maybe PVP tier sets introduce cool gear that have cool effects in PVP and have higher stamina just like you do with PVE raid gear. I know adding arenas is probably a stretch but even if just adding rated battlegrounds. It feels crummy cause i know there is a huge PVP player base that feels left out with so much PVE/raid content. What if someone doesnt want to acquire their best in slot gear by raiding but instead want to work their way up and earn it through PVP. GIVE THE PEOPLE DIFFERENT AVENUES TO EARN GEAR BESIDES JUST RAIDING PLEASE!

10 man raids are perfect.
20 man raids are doable.
40 man raids, and my entire guild plans on quitting, too much time commitment. So I hope they continue with the path of <20m raids.

Right which is exactly why I said the bad design part is introducing this change mid-phase. They should have either introduced it day 1 of p2 or waited until p3, or announced day 1 of p2 they were raising the price temporarily and would be reducing it in a few weeks.

PLEASE keep 40 player raids. You are 1000000% right that they are a core element of the classic experience. They are so epic and they force more teamwork and coordination with larger groups. They allow for more diverse groups of classes to be brought to raids and more potential compositions to be tried out/played with.
Also unrelated, but I hope ZF ends up being the lvl 50 raid. I love that dungeon. Maraudon would be cool too.

Huge wins. Great job Blizz.
Some more healing intensive fights. Right now the play style is boring across the board and no one is playing healing classes. Atm it’s just use your rune spell and sleep.
You should farm more friend, aren’t you the same one who cries about gdkps? now asking to lower the cost of things
