At the start of every expansion, I review which specs I am going to play. I usually prefer focusing my efforts on only one character.
Druid
I love the class fantasy of all the druid specs. I've even grown to love the space chicken. If I choose to play a druid it will require less time to become up to date, since resto and balance are the two specs I know the most in the game.
Druids are very versatile. They can do everything. Heal if the dps queues are too long. Or tank difficult mobs when soloing. They are also exceptional at questing with stuff like insta flight form, stealth and great movement. And if I get tired of my spec, there are three others to choose from.
But druids have not gotten good reviews from the content creators this time around. They have a really bad class tree that is very limiting. And they have gotten the most boring and least impactful hero talents.
Balance: In it's current state, balance has a very slow ramp up time. It sometimes feel slow when leveling and if stuff dies fast in dungeons. Several balance players have moved away from the spec for now since they think it is very unfun to play right now. The spec is also very easy and have little depth. That's good when learning new dungeons and bosses and stuff, but tend to be a bit boring in the long run.
Feral: I do love the class fantasy and to play feral, but I am not good at playing melee. I don't like that Tiger's fury don't reset on kills anymore. It made the spec very good where stuff dies fast.
Guardian: I love to be able to spec into a tank if I find a diffucult mob when I'm doing open world content. Other than that, I will probably not play it much.
Resto: This might be my favourite spec. There has been some good changes lately. I love playing with trees. And I love that you can spec into wrath generating mana. But I do think that I would do better with a healer that is more reactive and requires less planning and knowledge of damage patterns. I like healing raids and m+ with friends, but I don't like pugging as resto druid since I'm bad at dealing with surprises.
Warlock
The warlock is still close to mye heart. Even though I haven't mained it for a very long time. If I am only going as dps, it is a valid choice in TWW. I also think that if I am going warlock, I must be willing to play all the specs, since there are often only one warlock spec that is good at a given time.
Affliction: The spec has been bad to play since BFA. But somehow, I want to play it anyway. There has been both bad and good changes lately. The good part is that they have tried to remove some of the abilities, giving it less buttons to press. The bad part is that they removed sow the seeds and soulflame. These two spells are the only way of dealing damage on short lived mobs.
Demonology: I do like the class fantasy of the spec. And currently I think this is the warlock spec I enjoy the most right now. I love that they have gotten the dog from Legion too. But I don't know the spec too well.
Destruction: This is the spec I have played the least. But if I go all warlock, I intend to try to master this one too.
Evoker
Another spec I love the class fantasy of. I even love the much hated lizardy look of it. I mained it in the first part of dragonflight, and it would probably not take too much to get into it again.
Preservation: I really enjoyed playing this spec. It felt super powerful and fun. It was also fun dealing damage in dungeons with it. The one thing that makes me worried about maining it is the range limitation. Most of the time it is totally fine. But on some bosses and in some groups where people are too spread, it is a nightmare.
Devastation: My main problem with this spec was that it was too squishy. But I know their survivability was a bit buffed after I stopped playing, so it might be better now. I especially remember the few times I raided as devastation. When there were a lot of incoming damage, both evokers in the group just died. I also don't like how the mastery works. It is often at the end of a fight that you need the power. But other than that, I think I could enjoy playing it.
Augmentation: I have bearly played the spec a little bit in Pandaria. It was kind of fun. But I don't know enough about it to have a strong opinion. Other that it looks to be easy to join groups.
Shaman
I have never mained shaman, but I have played it a bit here and there. I like the class a lot, but it sometimes reminds me of a certain shaman that I don't like.
Restoration shaman: I do enjoy healing on shaman. Even though I haven't played it too much, I think it's easier to save the day with a resto shaman than a resto druid. I think it would be a good pick if I'm going to heal pugs.
Elemental: I kind of enjoy elemental. But haven't played it too much.
Enhancement: I would probably not play this spec at all. Unless I got tired of the two other ones.
Conclusion:
I think I would enjoy playing all these four classes. But in the end, I always pick druid.
