Pure and simple, they have no Idea what they're doing. Most classes lost a lot of utility and theres many situations like you've mentioned, In Dungeons, In outdoor situations that you know there's a counter for that. Lets say you're a class that can heal a tiny bit but you're mainly DPS, when the tank's In a real bind and the healer Is stunned or something, you could cast a few healing spells to help out, say Chain Heal and some others... but then you realize, no, you're an ELEMENTAL shaman, you don't have Chain Heal anymore, you just have a basic heal ability that drains your small reserve of mana within 4 casts and barely heals anyone to full HP.
They've tried to streamline classes Into doing one thing well, so much so that they can't do anything well. You can use every single class and then spec to point out something that they are missing which would be useful right now In a dungeon, raid or outdoor enviroment. For example my favorite class, Warrior. Where's my recklessness combined with Bladestorm that I can use? Where's my stance dancing where I could In a bad situation, switch to Defensive Stance with sword and shield when the tank Is In a bind In a dungeon, take agro off a mob or two to let him and the healer recover and then switch back to Battle Stance?
There's so much utility lost with the classes that somehow Blizzard hasn't realized and we have to remind them so that they return all of this and even better, Innovate on all of it.
And last point, majority of those PvP talents either USED to be REGULAR BASELINE CLASS ABILITIES or TALENTS we had for said spec, like rogues always had Shiv, or Shamans always had Chain Heal and so on. It just simply wasn't as powerful as a Healer Shaman's Chain Heal or a poison-spec rogue's Shiv and so on. You had all abilities, you could use them but they weren't as powerful, but still very useful.
I mean fudge sake, go look at any Classic Demo footage from Blizzcon 2018. Classes are at lvl 15, and they have more damn abilities on their bar than we do as lvl 120 In BfA.... let that sink In.
