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.
That's right, damn Blizzard for making DPS trees better at DPSing than healing/tank trees. How dare they assume you will use a healing or tanking tree when healing or tanking! Next, Blizzard is going to tell me that I need less elemental spellcasting and more melee as an enhancement shaman or that I can't enter the LFD queue as the tank role when playing my mage! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!111

Oh please. No indication of sarcasm?

that reeks of sarcasm even on a sleep deprived monday morning where my sense are still dulled.

I queue for DPS as Disc all the time, it's fun and the extra heals make heroics go super duper fast fast. People ask why I'm DPS'ing as Disc, I ask them why they're worried about an account they don't pay for. Rarely are there any questions after that

Sarcastic truth.
This. You may have been sarcastic, but for some players this rings true. I thought you might be one of those players.

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.
You know it!

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Because you're in my group, and if things go bad you're the first to be blamed. You may pay for your own account, but you're on 4 other peoples clocks when you join a group.

Why am I on those 4 people's clocks....is their time more important than mine?

I just queue as healer (for the near instant wait time) and then smite heal / shield as needed. I'm often top DPS on bosses while healing everyone this way. It's loads of fun. I wish it worked better in raids. Perhaps they'll work the bugs out of the range and someday it will!

Well, I queue as both generally, but when DPS comes up I just stay Disc....my hope is that Disc priests become the hybrid dps/healer of this expansion. As far as the mechanics go, it's beginning to look that way.
EDIT: Healers wait almost as long as DPS on my server

Wow, that's crazy to imagine there are clusters where there are that many healers. The only thing faster than queuing as a healer for mine is queuing as a tank (instant every single time).
Disc is definitely fun for me in 5 mans. I tried Holy just to see how it was and honestly I just found it incredibly boring. I've got my fingers crossed that they iron out the raid play of the smite spec disc priest because for me doing both DPS and healing keeps me more entertained than either alone.
