It seems like most of these are about the common (mis)conception of a spec. For example, Brewmasters and DKs has gotten a lot of communication over the expansion because of how bad their reputation was even in casual raiding early on in the expansion. They HAD to do something for those specs. Even Outlaw has gotten some changes (not that it did anything big). In order for other people to understand that there is even a problem is to be very vocal about it.
It seems very vocal communities at least do seem to get some form of a communication though. All I want is to at least hear the reasoning behind their changes (or lack thereof) to Havoc.
I agree with your last statement. It's depressing but it's true. But one can hope!
