Theorizing: A second spec for dual-spec

Now, obviously, we all know that we have the Arcane-based 7/57/7 for Heroics and raiding, right? The build that MIGHT, MAYBE become an Arcane-based 11/53/7, depending on some testing?

That's well and good. It's great, even. But when they release this dual-spec crap, what is it going to mean to me?

The big thing about it I hear is "OMG a PVE spec and a PVP spec and NO RESPEC COSTS, AWESOME". Cool, but I don't PVP. Putting a PVP talent spec next to my PVE talent spec would be like putting some three year old's finger painting next to the Mona Lisa in an art museum. It wouldn't belong.

So what I'm thinking is... a 10/55/6 Volley Shit To Death spec.

Yeah, I know they're nerfing Volley, but who cares? If I'm getting 12% more damage, 100% less interruption, a stronger Kongsecrate, etc. etc. etc., it just seems like a good buy for my dual-spec. Throw in Glyph of Volley instead of Glyph of Serpent, and suddenly you have wtf-worthy grinding speed during my dailies. 2/2 Rapid Recup keeps me running 24/7/365. Chimera and Imp. Steady still exist, just in case I have to single-burn.

Meh, I'm open to ideas, but this is the best use of the idea I can think of.

Because the idea's dumb if you're not a hybrid or a PVPer, and who cares about PVPers anyways?

That actually sounds like a lot of fun. Good for grinding leather! I'd been wondering what to do for a second spec, maybe I could give this a try :)

hmmm, not too bad of an idea.

though i may go bm for a fun in arena. we tank our rating, and then use 3 bm hunters to scare the hell out of bad pvp'ers.

Oh... I'm eager to know how the sans-CE spec is. I really really really want Aspect Mastery - I was musing how to get it last night as I was falling asleep.

A very good idea. It might work for AoE pulls as well. Good times to be had.
Plus, you could grind for eternals like no ones buisness.

See, if I was going on a pure Volley AoE grind spec, I think I'd say to hell with convention and go 33/37/0, picking up pet improvement talents and the mm talents that will either help me keep going or benefit my volley.

Ah, but see, I'm not trying to improve Kongsecrate's DAMAGE, just his longevity.

Which is where cat-like reflexes and spirit bond come into play. If you are just grinding the light fantastic Marked for death is rather useless as is chimera shot, and increased damage = increased threat, especially on ye olde thunderstomp, which you will need to offload some of your volley crits.
