This legendary is going to be usable for multiple classes and specs, hence being a staff.
im guessing probably a tanking wep since we didnt see any of those in a while
but the thing is some classes use 1-handed weps others use 2-handed
im guessing (if they pick a tanking one of course) it will be like the Quel'Danar thing... all tank classes do the quests normally the original way, and the final one would be a quest where you get to pick wich one suits ur class best, or it will just give u a diff quest depending on the class, but i STRONGLY doubt it would be a shield
Their will never be a tanking Legendary. Why? All the tanks use different weapons.
If they were to make a 1H sword/mace/axe, Warriors and Pallies would be over-joyed! Yet, the Druid and Death Knights wouldn't have any use for it. Tanks could use Thunderfury back in the day, so that worked for them. DKs could use Shadowmourne to tank, seeign as how they use dps weapons. Druids also use dps polearms, adn that would benefit Hunters and Feral dps as well.
Reason why Thunderfury could be considered a tanking weapon back then is becuase ONLY warriors could tanks. And maybe one in a thousand paladins were allowed to be protection.
Nowadays, not a chance.

Why does it have to be a Legendary weapon?
Why not a pair of boots that allow you to walk on lava without damage or a cloak that can be turned into wings and allow you to fly?
There's already a Legendary Shield (albeit temporary) and there was a Legendary necklace (albeit mitakenly put in) and a Legendary mount.
So who's to say it will be a weapon?
What would be better is if it was a Legendary Enchant that gave the item its used on a new feature and turned it into a legendary. Like Sulfuron Hammer +_Eye of Sulfuras.
@Chaoslux I see Shana.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age"
GIEF 2HANDER AXE OR SWORD!! MELEES NEVER GET ANYTHING
(now imagine your face twist with rage after reading the part above, did you already start a reply? hope not.
Legendary is just one item, it is orange pixels compared to purple ones, tbh I like the colour of blue most.
if anything it's going to be a tank weapon (though it could be a tank trinket with some sort of visual proc so ferals don't QQ)
or a polearm/staff that hunters/ferals can use(oh please xD)
Polearm for feral imo We haven't gotten one yet soooo.....I would say we are due.
Tanking Thingy.. never really had a pure tanking wep.. Yes iknow thunderfury but it's not really a pure tanking legendary as in dodge/parry and so on
Blackwing place n BoT!
A bow or a gun.
Feral/hunter melee weapon never gonna happen. You never see it on feral druids, and hunters use their ranged weapon, not their melee, soo.. wasted effort.
Tank weapon isn't going to happen unless they do a Quel'delar style deal where you can pick what you want. Paladins and warriors want either a 1-hander or a shield, death knights and druids want a 2-hander, and if y'make a tank weapon with the wrong stats ooooh shit will there be whining.
You must've been absent for a while - it was announced that the first legendary of this expansion would be a caster weapon a long time ago, and that it would be a staff at Blizzcon. Combine that with datamined material - quests and models and items - from the Firelands patch, and you've got a legendary caster staff.

I would personally vouch for the Quel'Danar styled legendary line. Give some low droprates for two different lines: a staff line and a handle for some melee weapon. Rebuild stuff, visit some places, hell throw in a Thunderaan again, then you pick whichever weapon is best for your class/spec.
They could easily make a 1h mace or axe.
rogues/warriors/dk's/shamans can all use them.
n hav it with heavy mastery/hit/expertise stats.
N proccing some sorta damage and aoe heals to mobs/allies within 15-20 yards?
They wont make a pure tanking legendary, coz you'll screw DK's over coz they cant duel wield tank, at least i think they cant effectivly :P and screwin over all the feral tanks out there in the process.
But to make a legendary that could be viable in a tanks hand or a dps's hand could be very viable and with reforging the stats dont matter to much.
They make legendarys viable to as many classes/specs as possible. Such as the caster legendary coming up. Hunters probably wont see a legendary bow, coz its useless to 9/10 classes.
A polearm/mace of similar stats to what i said above could be very viable, if it procs from ranged attacks to.
Being open to feral tanks/dps, hunters, warriors of both specs if its a mace, ret palas n dk's. But that would be unlikley due to shadowmourne being the last legendary.
