I play a feral druid and though I'm happy with my dps, there area a few fights in ulduar that make me a sad panda, because you either can't get behind the target or the target moves around so damn much it makes it extremely difficult to stay behind the target, thus making trying to shred the target a pointless task and I have to revert to mangle spam.
Rogues no longer have to do this and that's a VERY good thing, I used to play combat dagger back in vanilla WoW on my rogue and even back then it had it's annoying moments.
With the 3 different specs [mutilate spec, combat spec, hat spec] all allowing the rogues to attack from the front when they have to [and still top the damage charts], there is just no reason why blizzard would bring back a spec that REQUIRES you to be behind the target to do substantial damage, plus no rogue would spec into it in the first place, well, no intelligent rogue anyways.
