@Poonz Yeah, they just want you to buy bigger bags and more personal bank tabs with DP. That's why there's no heirloom, it would hurt their sales. And it's really annoying. It's not like they can't sell the heirlooms for DP as well.

@Vulpinenin true, it would require more bonus for the fact that one has more spec becose i no know but use like 8th spec in high risk pvp = almost all time full bags or bank with your 7th armor sets +- and what i like to have is

for every 2nd spec get +8 slot in main bag and +8 slot for bank (it is no too much but better than noting)(somethink like passive skill ?) with this when you have 4th spec you get +16 bag and bank slots 😄

With regards to block value:

Half our Strength is already applied to our block value, and since we're "druids" the attributes submenu of the character panel doesn't mention it in the ingame ui.

So if you want to improve your block value, you could gem strength.

Something of note that's an advantage on that is that %modifiers like blessing of kings and the talents that do so would impact the strength you get from gems and in turn impact the block value you get per gem. Which is something that straight dodge/parry gems can't benefit from.

@slen99 yeah well, they can keep the gambling aspect just fine if that's what's important.
But yes, uncoupling the RE's (at least the legendary/epics) from the gear would be a HUGE quality of life improvement. +1

@LumberDavid Not really much of a solution, but you can get intervene plus the epic RE "Temple Guardian" to remove their weakened soul debuff, putting it on yourself instead. With 2/2 Safeguard talent and possibly some "hasty intervene" green enchants to reduce intervene CD, it could even half-work.
If you don't want to run all dungeons like that though, you'd have to burn a spec slot for this modified version of your build.

Here are two more sane solutions:

Keep another healer spec on a secondary spec that you can use when your tank is Crimson Championing. Get a premade tank (that you know isn't a Crimson Champion) to run your dungeons with. As an added bonus, you'll get more instant pops, because DPS are aplenty.

It is especially annoying that they don't utilize some very nice benefits.

Like the energy based dragons (only the melee wyrmguard of each dragonflight it seems)
have no spammable energy consumer. so while you can take "Go for the Throat" in marksman, it does 100% nothing. your pet always has enough every to spam every ability on cd, but will also spend its entire time at full energy, with or without the talent. (so no point to include tamed dragons on this talent)

The mana dragons being able to receive replenishment is good. they can also get lifetap if you take Mana Feed (demonology)

but you can't benefit from Invigoration (beast mastery) with anything but a tamed beast, and Go For The Throat.. should restore mana to the various pets as appropriate.

As such, tame dragon is strictly inferior for.. basically every build that might want a pet. no dragons are good enough to use 6 ability points, and talent points to potentially support it. its like a semi-thoughtless dot that deals around 50 dps.. with a terrible scaling ratio.
