Druids, Paladins, etc, wouldnt get bonuses at all. or perhaps they just wouldnt get bonuses this powerful.

But the tax will be applied to all hybrids regardless of their variety of roles. Since every healer has a dps spec and every tank has a dps spec the only pures are the hunters,locks,rogues and mages. It doesn't make sense to tax the tanks and healers because it would be a tax to each one anyway so why not just avoid it all together. However, the dps specs will probably see the tax if its implemented. I don't raid too often but when i do i usually tend to see our guilds rogue, lock and mage at the top of the meters with a hunter usually around the top as well. But top 3 are almost always one of those 3, unless the fight has some weird gimmicks. I think players skill does still make a huge difference even if it is simply press these buttons in this order over and over, some people cannot do that efficiently. Even if a hybrid tax is implemented i am sure there are still gonna be hybrids topping meters if you look, maybe not as often but i highly doubt it will nerf everything into oblivion. I also expect blizzard to make changes to adjust them appropriately.
