for example why bring the ret when you have a holy already (better utility at this point) and then you could bring another mage or lock (better dps)

Im not worried personally.. Im a good enough ret that I will always find a spot in decent guilds.. but that dosent help the lesser skilled rets who have to deal with that type of thing

The thing is, we're talking about how we'll earn our raid spot, and how we'll lose dps from individual gcd's and divided attention by using our single target utility. The vast majority of the people who actually care about that stuff are the people who raid and pvp seriously. The problem isn't necessarily stereotypes like that, because at lower levels, I'd probably say people would more inclined to not care who they bring to raids than anything. They're looking more for a fun, easy-going experience, which doesn't include min-maxing, earning raid spots or not based on utility, etc. If people are in guilds like that stereotype, they're just stupid (the guilds, not necessarily the people).
I know it is going to happen eventually but I dont believe Blizzard balance raids on high end(Barring Mythic which makes me jelly cause of that uber set). I'm not saying "Stfu until beta." I'm saying don't exaggerate it that...well yeah.
That said something came to mind. I wonder of Celest is a mouthpiece and not *I actually believe this* and such.

They can't not balance around mythic and high-end pvp, because that's who will achieve the highest potential of their given characters and who cares the most about true balance. Outside of mythic and the like, player skill is a much larger factor than spec balance and people are a lot less likely to care about a few % difference in theoretical dps.
I'm not saying this in any sort of disparaging way, but if they balanced around the mean or median of each spec (what you're more likely to see in a pug or random bg or what have you), the discrepancies between specs would be much larger because they would be balancing around people not achieving their full potential.
Mhm, I know which is why I'm not too concerned overall. Mythic will most likely hit us hard(Or Heroic will start to hurt a little, Mythic will probably not be very good at all for us).
Barring AoW. I wonder what aura we could get back(If we have to lose Devo aura, give us something else maybe). Aura of X Does...whatever......... Can't think of anything right now cause I have a brain fart.

I just dont want to end up like our mages did in siege. They had no real raid utility and was sat for fights that required raid cooldowns even in top 100 guilds.
Always have gems like this to fall back on:

Honestly I don't think that we will be getting any auras back or any new abilities period... they have pretty much already said(without oficially saying) that ret is not getting anything new or interesting and all they are going to do is tune numbers(example: we like where ret is mechanically and we feel it just needs a numbers pass).. this way they can spend more time and effort in redesigning booking(did you see all their changes this last alpha notes? it was nuts)..honestly Im not expecting much if anything... number pass that's about it..
tl;dr dont get your hopes up for amazing new and exciting changes.. because you will probably be dissapointed

we both know he's just blowing smoke up our ass.. he cant very well say rets are going to be shit and subpar better reroll right now.. could you imagine the pr shit storm ?.. no instead they will keep trying to deceive us with posts like "rets will be great"... and when live hits and we are shit they will come up with some shit like " our data did not predict or foresee any problems"

What is wrong with Blizz?!, they just completely remove AoW, why not do something interesting and daring with it?!?, i swear the spec gets more and more bland and boring each expac.
