Rogues, Warlocks, Mages and Hunters could ONLY fill those roles, whereas Paladins, Druids, Warriors, Death Knights and Shamans could fill 2-3 depending on class. Anyone worth talking to never said they wanted to absolutely stomp hybrid classes on the DPS meters, but that in equal gear/skill levels, the pure DPS would come out on top. For awhile, that wasn't the case.
