It probably creates nightmare problems in terms of balance, but I always thought the approach SWtOR took with its 'disciplines' was pretty neat. All the classes offered at least one DPS spec (mostly because DPS was the best-optimised role for advancing through levelling content), but most of these also had either a healing or tanking spec as well.
