I quote "X(healiing)+Y(damage)=T(total)" thus how much healing a Spriest can do, it will cost GCD's of dps to get GCD's of healing as far as FH or GH are concerned.
the only real defense is the prefight buffs, a pom before Shadowform, and a Divine hymn at the rough spot in the fight.....thats about it without sacrificing MORE dps

okay, 5400 Hps over 25!people so still each player only gets 225 per sec....yeah its basically like troll regen, but not THAT great. the raid healers "might" notice YOU not needing heals, sure
not to mention this conditional on 4.5k Dps.....at which point yes, you are a Spriest god, grats

...though I assume that's sarcasm, I'll clarify for others. :P
...a
bear
tank will not be a
cat
DPS. And a
cat
DPS will not be a
bear
tank.
They do have different itemizations. Thus, if a kitty comes along, in kitty gear, they will not be tanking. Just as a bear will not DPS with their tank gear. Hope that clarifies enough. XP
...
Sometimes it really does seem to me that Blizzard just doesn't know what to do.
You make a lot of great points there.

True true, but our Bear tank can easily DPS by just jumping into cat form and then jump back into bear when the need arises

...I'll repeat myself... kitties and teddies have different
itemizations
. Simply "changing forms" doesn't mean that a tank is suddenly a DPS, and vice versa. Not to mention there are a few talents that are different from a cat DPS and bear tank.
Yes, they could do it in a pinch. Just as a healer could start DPSing by switching targets and what they're casting. A Warrior could go sword-and-board and pick up adds in a pinch. But their fundamental role will not change -- they are simply showing off their utility. A Warrior in full DPS gear and Fury spec will not tank successfully.
...
now
, hopefully, that's clear enough.
