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 
Why in the world does a heroic need 2 healers? You must be in some pretty bad groups if you need 2 healers.
They don't need two healers.

I've leveled to 77 so far as prot and every now and then I queue as dps in between quests. No one complains and if the tank dies or leaves or w/e, up goes righteous fury and everyone goes ... wow! pallys are OP
I doubt I will dps as prot once I tempacap if there's such a word.

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?
In a 5 man, it doesn't matter. As long as your group does 6000 dps, your tank is Def Capped and your Healer doesn't have a hole in his/her brain, you will win the boss fights. Tanks can easily DPS in 5 mans without an issue.
On a Raid I would kick your ass out and find somebody better, but only after I kicked out the other idiots who let you pass them by in DPS.

You are playing in some VERY bad 5 mans. Terribly bad.

My priests DPS is bad enough as it is so I wouldn't dream of doing this... but I frequently heal heroics in Shadow spec, If I have a well geared tank I rarely have to step out of shadow form and only then it is to heal between mobs.

I've seen some with RDF that the high dps beyond me was 900. As a healer, I still had the highest dps... People just either do not care or don't know how to play the class. So easy to level a char now that they can get to 80 and not have a clue.
As far as the OP goes...If you have the highest dps in the group while dpsing prot...find a better group.

This would be the place where I would ordinarily talk about the grouping mentality and how each individual of a group, even if it's a PuG has the tacit responsibility to actually do the best they can as part of the group in the role they've chosen.
Unfortunately very few people a) on this board and b) in this game care about such things.
Ret DPS > Prot DPS
Shadow DPS > Disc DPS
Disc Healing > Smite or Shadow Healing

Everyone playing WoW knows everything about playing two classes: 1) their own and 2) Hunters

This.
It's amusing how that individualism and lack of team spirit is reflected in the posting habits here... "I R PLAY LIEK I WANT!" "NOBODY TELLS ME HOW 2 PLAY!!" "STFU NUB I R DOING DPS WITH DISC SPEC!" "I PWN UR DPS WITH MY PROT SPEC!"... some threads here sound like the WoW Trade chat channel.
And if such a "rebel" ever managed to infiltrate my guild, like Mithan said, he'll get the boot during the first raid... but I doubt it will happen, we recruit people with a brain, not VN board kindergarten heroes.
Oh, and Cawlin... you can be sure that if wipes happen, those same persons will be the first to point fingers at the others telling them how they suck and they fail.
