I think you missed the progression of the topic.

people are talking about dualspeccing to play tanks and healers ... now i dont know all classes yet, but i'm pretty sure there is no class that can be a tank AND healer just by changing talenttrees.

its either DPS/Healing or DPS/Tank.

Um because an advance class you twit is an actual class whereas a talent tree is part of your class ... To be honest the only reason they made advance classes is so you didnt have 8 separate story line quests and they could condense it ... I hope you are smarter then this IRL

Yer but how would that hold up in Heroic style flash points or raids ? I mean hey I put 3 points into the dps tree for my healer from the get go for reduced force cost ... doesnt make me hybrid (I'd assume by hybrid you'd be say I dunno teir 4 of 2 talent trees)

You want to save a type of playstyle only a minority care about at the expense of the majority's desire for greater flexibility.
I've met quite a lot of people in the game that are hybrid tanks or hybrid healers. They all said that if they did have dual-spec, they'd just roll both threes.

So no, currently the amount of hybrid builds is large enough, and BW actually made them work quite well. As soon as there's dual spec, the usability of such builds falls to zero, and people won't roll them anymore.

Exactly.... everytime they give an inch, the line gets pushed back a bit further and they start demanding more.
Before you know it there is no more need of classes... just pick a random class and dualspec to be able to fill every spot.

I still haven't found any compelling argument what are the big advantages having only AC with one talent tree

Far as I can tell it only restricts makes even worst the situation there is always lack of healers and tanks in MMO's. Most of the stories don't take side on which talent tree character has. Far as I can tell they are class generic not AC.

I don't also see point leaving same class twice with some minor differences in talents.

Why you messing with my fun! If I want to jump between Sage and Shadow, why would you be against it? You're just drawing an arbitrary line to impede my fun!!!!!!

Dual-spec would be fine if they limit it to just allowing you to swap between the choices in your advanced class. Each AC has at least 2 dips trees trees and aside from 2 on each side a support role. I can understand wanting to swap between a utility to dps, or even from different types of dps to fit group needs or playstyles.
