How do you "fix" certain specs even? Take Prot Pally for example, this spec needs a lot of love to be a "real" tank:
1.A Taunt, Pally didn't have one, so you need a new ability.
2.Way to generate threat while not having aggro, since most bosses were taunt immune.
3.Way to regenerate Mana.
It's obviously possible to do these things, but you enter dangerous territory.
Up until Cata, Hybrid specs were not super uncommon, especially if powerful talents were deep in another tree, some holy pallies specced deep into prot to get additional mana reg during Wotlk, Some PvP Resto Druids specced into Moonkin form during BC to get additional mana regeneration.
When in doubt, don't change it, that should be the rule of thumb for the Vanilla servers.
