What do you think new class specs should be?

Compilation of popular ideas:

Death Knight - Lich: ranged caster DPS using intellect plate. Shadow, frost and unholy spells. Could see them using staves for weapons too. Might be too much overlap with warlocks, but going heavy on the frost and undead themes might make them feel more unique.

Druid General consensus is don't add another spec.

Hunter - Pet tanking spec. I personally don't think this would be a good idea, it'd be way too clunky in practice. - Shadow Hunter. More shadow spells, maybe poisons. Stealth mechanics? Might be too similar to survival.

Mage - Healing spec. Timewalker type damage prevention, arcane based healing spells. Absorb shields? - Spellbreaker. Melee sword wielding mage. Dual wielding caster weapons, or using shields? Focus in anti-magic, debuffs, vulnerabilities, breaking armor, etc.

Monk - Fistweaver: make it its own proper spec. Could either be another healing spec very similar to current fistweaving playstyle or just a dps spec. Red chi-ji spell effects? - Ranged intellect DPS spec: lots of chi, jade fire, focus on Yu'lon, dragons. Chi bolts. Could be cool.

Paladin - Zealot/Inquisitor: ranged intellect shockadin spec casting holy spells. Denounce, Holy Shock, Holy Bolt, Exorcism, they could bring back inquisition maybe?

Priest - Adept/Zealot: again a holy based ranged dps spec. Could be very similar to current Holy in offensive chakra.

Rogue - Swashbuckler: tank spec. Could very well see them using shields to bring another block based tank spec into the game. Think Southsea pirates. - Headhunter: ranged DPS spec, maybe bring back throwing weapons?

Shaman - Earthwarder: earth based tank spec. Uses shields.

Warlock - Dark Apotheosis: tank spec, either through a pet or more likely by transforming into a demon. Already kind of in the game so it'd really make sense. I could see the transformation aspect being too similar to demonology though. - Blood Mage: blood based spec, could involve life tapping, life draining, blood bolts, etc. Vampiric elements?

Warrior - Gladiator: already in the game, make it a proper spec that you can play from level 1.
