Our revamp is a very mixed bag. Some of the new things they have added are nice, but the red/yellow lines have little to no survivability. You will still faceroll the content you can faceroll now, but survive that massive raid boss damage spike? not a chance. Need to quickly off-tank something during a raid? Unless you are blue, you're going to need a rez.

You will need different armor for each spec. You will need different LIs for each spec, and you will be significantly reworking your LIs when this goes live, unless you plan on discarding them immediately once you hit 86.
Well a quick offtank in pretty much every T2 raid with challenge is pretty hairy to do for a champ who is all out DPS geared because it is very likely that any elitemaster+ mob is hitting devs of roughly 80%-150% of the champs moral.

Anyway: on live we need like a set of LI's for every spec too, so that isnt that much of a change at all. The only difference is that right now we have legs that arent that much useful in one spec whereas with HD those legacies wont be useful at all in one spec. On the other hand we got a lot more useful legacies for our runes that actually boost our DPS instead of just lowering powercosts. Prolly you only need like 1 weapon and 1 rune for DPS (either ST or AoE) if you are willing to respend points after switching spec^^
With the new stat contribution on items it could be possible to tank a mob till the tank is rezzed as we will have a lot more vitality and force taunt is a general skill outside of any tree.
