Lets say you wanna be a bear druid, but you dont want to tank. So you specc, glyph, enchant and gear towards the goal of being the best bear dps there is that doesnt tank. There are several "speccs" you could do this with, all of them utterly stupid. But, what is the least stupid specc of those?
I have identified a load of these types of speccs. i have left out the absolutely wierdest combos like meleemages and ranged rogues.
Holypallytank
Ret-tank
Shockadin
Protpallydps
Retheal
Protpallyheal
beardps
balancehealer
restodruiddps
boomkintank
smitespeccdps
elementalhealer
enhancementhealer
enhancementtank
restoshammydps
melleehunter
frostdktank
blooddkdps
unholytank
rangeddpsdk
furywarrtank
protwarrdps
armswarrtank
Which of those speccs would perform best in a lvl85 raid setting?
My personal opinion is that the healing speccs would probably "work" (i have very little experience as healer, but atleast pallys has some nice baseline abilities and good mana regen) and protwarrdps, vigilance gives tank vengeance attack power, and dps gear atleast gives some dps, or perhaps blood dps.
Your opinion? which is the least stupid?

All of the tanks can preform resonable well. Any DK in blood presence or a Ret Pally with RF would be fine for anything but current tier raiding. They wouldn´t be crit immune so could have some insta-kills.
Nobody can really heal outside of spec. Moonkin, Spriest and Elem shaman.. the mana costs of spells are just absurd.. you go OOM very quickly.
As far as dps.. again, probably blood DKs would do the most dps. Disc priests are also kinda built for some dps, so might do ok.
But if you want to have the best of both worlds.. go feral druid. Most of the talents help both, and if you take all the ´bear´ talents, you will still do very good dps in cat form.... of course that changes when MoP comes out. Otherwise, I would say blood DK is the way to go.

I prefer the term 'Bearcatting'.

Hmmm, I think Blood DK dps is one of the most viable. I'm sure I read something about Blood dps working on Ultraxion due to the high raid damage.
And the fact that Dancing rune weapon lasts twice as long with half the normal cooldown....
