How would you change Specialization?

Oh hell no. Just because most people haven't figured out the benefits of the specialist actions doesn't mean they're bad. They're great. Also reminds me when I taught a guy having trouble HQ'ing things, taught him how to use them and he later said it was like night and day.

Specialist actions are good, and removing them wouldn't help you at all. If you choose to ignore them, fine, but leave them as is.

(Though I certainly wouldn't complain if they also added all the cross-class secondaries for specialists, but let's be realistic; that'd be so broken.)

Not gonna go back and dig up a thread from that long ago, but I distinctly remember getting into an argument with someone on these boards about the value of the Specialist Only actions. The long and short of it was, they add an extra layer of RNG and require higher stats to achieve results that might, charitably, be within the same ballpark compared to (yet not as good as) what an omnicrafter can achieve using the cross class moves.

As an above poster said, if they were as good or better than the cross class moves, that would be one thing. They do not come as close as they should, so removing them in favor of getting all of the cross class moves can only help people.

Are the Specialist-only actions bad? On their own, no - though there is a lot more RNG with them, which may be considered bad. Compared to the cross class moves? Higher stats needed and more RNG for lesser results means that, contrary to your opinion, they ARE bad, compared to the cross class moves.
