I dont know if thats good.
Im a tank main. I dont have a problem to invite other fury's or hybrids, simply because I have a boomkin too.
And its not like I as a tank am doing
all the work. Thats not true. DPS is also part of the job, and I
appreciate a good DPS, someone who does his job the way hes supposed to, maybe even brings some
extras in the form of consumables etc, just like I do (you will never catch me doing a dungeon without
my oil of immolation!). I appreciate that. I also dont look at other players as competition, but rather as
potential friends - if youre funny, my man you can do 0 DPS and ninja all loot Ill still tank for you

But you gotta make me laugh.
And when im on my Boomy, I expect you guys to invite me the same way I invite you all when im on my tank.
Its a give and take. And so far my Boomy has always been invited.
You're partially right. If we look at raid content, I believe that all specs should have a place and get an opportunity to get rewarded for good gameplay. I strongly reject the notion that some specs are "unviable" for raid content. Granted, you need a specific setup if you want to score on some leaderboard, but I doubt that sweaty meta gameplay was ever intended by the devs.
Looking at leveling content, I think we also agree that every class and spec can pull their weight in more ways than just "pumping" (btw, using this term unironically is another red flag for me). I like to play a lot of alts and I always like to really "play" my classes. When I join a group as dps, I get bored when I don't CC, interrupt, off-tank, off-heal or kite. I hate being carried and I love getting creative with the various toolkits offered by different classes and specs.
Therefore, I have little understanding for hybrid players who refuse to acknowledge the fact that they even
can heal or tank. How can they not see their big spellbook full of fun gimmicks and rejoice in the endless possibilities? How can they reduce gameplay to a dps rotation? I just don't get it.
We'll probably have to agree to disagree here, but therefore I personally lack any compassion for e.g. a lvl 45 fury warrior (I'm leveling one myself) spending hours looking for a tank for ZF. If they want the XP/loot/quests so urgently, then nothing is stopping them from swapping out a shield and getting stuff done.
I don't feel like I'm "punishing" their behaviour when I handpick my groups without them, but I'm not supporting it either. I rather encourage everybody to uncover the full potential of their class

Also, let's face it: server pop is huuuuuuge at the moment, so there's plenty of opportunity for everybody

Off topic a small tip for any newcomers about the /who command for handpicking a group.
Example: /who c-warrior c-shaman c-paladin c-druid 32-37 z-ashenvale
will give you a list of all warriors, druids, shamans, paladins in ashenvale in a levelrange from 32-37 in ashenvale. I normally leave out the zone part, but I use this command to find specific classes in a specific levelrange.
Using this and
politely whispering to people is much faster than "/5 LF TANK FOR ZF, Q PLS!!11"
