Again, homogenization does NOT come from what you happen to be wielding as a weapon. It comes from how your spec plays related to other specs of the class.
Are you really trying to say that if Combat, Assassination and Sub used exactly the same buttons, but had weapon restrictions they would be non-homogenized?
Alternatively, if we had three unique specs that played completely differently with different abilities and mechanics, and all used the same weapons they'd be homogenized?
