I've been playing my Pally in Heroics in a Prot spec as DPS. I still get complaints asking why a tank specced Pally is DPS. My gear is DPS. I never land on the bottom of the DPS chart and frequently top the DPS chart. Even when I'm out DPSin the whole group I get complaints. If the group is not suffering and the person is holding their own then why care what people play?

Just because the group is not suffering doesn't mean the group couldn't be doing better. Sure its viable, just like I can heal a group in elemental spec, but it isn't quite as good and if things go south I will have a much harder time pulling the group through it.

Blame Blizzard for defining exactly what each spec is 'required' to be doing. The majority of players are only gobbling up whatever their overlords dictate.

Listen friend, this here is World of Warcraft. There's no room in this game for individuality or playing outside the exact spec and set up that is accepted by the mouth breathing masses handed down by the raiding elite. In this world you can easily define how good a player is simply by adding up the iLvL of their gear and calculating a "score" of sorts from it.
Don't try to be creative, and whatever you do don't try to enjoy playing the game. Anything outside the norm is to be frowned upon and derided.
Enjoy your time.

People play Ret as DPS because Ret is the DPS tree. Unfortunate ventures into other trees as DPS has resulted in a flavor of the month run and thus further results in hotfix nerfage of the wandering spec type. That's why no one bothers to learn to DPS at prot. It will be nerfed eventually.

I'd love to see how you react to a post that was pretty clearly sarcasm... oh wait.

No indication of sarcasum in the post, just sounded like another sour WoW player, don't know your post history to well but I am leaning towards saying, "Nice backpeddle" on this one.

You can't be serious. Read the post again. If you still think that it wasn't blatantly sarcastic you're as dumb as a box of chocolates.
