Dual Speck Resto and What? Bear or Owl?

[Taralocke]

Greetings: I'm going to do the dual spec and going to be resto as my main but what other spec is everyone thinking of doing. Tank and Healer combo would make you wanted I would think. I already have an 80 DPS hunter even though a Caster would be cool, and a 63 DK for a tank one day, just not sure when he will make it to 80. Hmmmmm right now I'm thinking just keeping him Boomkin but who knows What is everyone else doing.

IMO the problem with a melee / caster dual spec is that it requires vastly different gear. At least with Resto / Balance many of the BiS items are shared (eg, Torch of Holy Fire, Signet of Manifested Pain, etc.).
