You can tank in PvP
Legit the tank shortage is because most warriors/ferals/Christ even rets just want to dps.
You can tank in those specs. People just don’t want to
There is no solution. In retail to tank you need just switch spec at any moment and there are still no tanks

Sadly on classic-wow/TBC-classic the two tanks are really bad designed.
Both tanks should be equal mitigation, AoE damage and AoE enmity tools.
Tanking a WAR on dungeon is horrible unless you have a very custom talent sets but most of the WARS just go in auto-pilot reading the guides and putting all the points on “Prot” then their AoE sucks
Tanking as PLD is extremely fun on dungeons but the mitigation is not that great.
Except they’re all ret 
Not it shouldn’t that kind of thought process is quite literally homogenization which is complete cancer

I’m actually level 35. If you guys wait awhile…
I will help the Tank ranks.
There are tons of warriors in LFG with messages like, “DPS LF BF Spam.”
They can learn their class. Same with Paladins, but they’ll probably be more accepted to Heroics/Kara even when not tanking than warriors.
Well, there’s a metric sh*toad of BE Paladins coming, whether all of them are Prot in the end, that’s to be seen. I’ll be one of the Prots coming coming for sure, I like fast groups and tons of love. Lol

I am a tank
Tank shortage been a problem in every MMO ever. There will never be enough.
XIV tried it and they even give you initiatives to be one. High stress job to take and you got bad DPS acting like they wanna tank so people get sick of it. Shrugs

The only, yes only, one thing that Dual Spec harms is the economy because more gold will be available. Everything else about it is absolutely positive and would enhance the playing experience for the vast majority of players (yes, I am not talking about the 2% that sit on the forums thinking that if someone can have a PVP and PVE spec to toggle between that they will somehow get world first Illidan before them)
Start a poll Blizz!

There is obviously goign to be a tank/healer shortage while people a prioritizing DPS questing gear before picking dungeon gear.
I play only pally/shaman and I don’t want dual spec. It would ruin the end game balance. And you would probably get more people need rolling for every spec in dungeons.

Are healers also sought after as much as tanks? Cant decide if I want to aim for resto or feral tank.
I don’t know about this time because I just came back from a 3 year hiatus. I do remember last time healers were in high demand. I played a holy priest and I remember resto druids being preferred. I am leveling a new holy priest again this time - I guess I am just a glutton for punishment.
Please explain the tank/healer shortage in xpacs with dual spec.

I actually swapped to a guard druid in SL just so we could have a m+ tank because no one wanted to play one even though their class allowed them to do so.

We have so many belf pallies on our server, but they all refuse to tank…when they’re so much better than prot warriors as fresh lv.60s and whine about no tanks.
big bruh moment.
If you don’t want to tank yourself, it might be worthwhile to invest some time in someone who does, but is nervous to try. There is a pretty high barrier to entry for someone who doesn’t want to cause wipes while they learn. Grab some friends and go with a new tank to do some easy runs to help them learn to maintain aggro/grab adds/learn route/etc. There is a lot going on for a tank the first time you try it.
