LOL @ gear before outlands.
I was like that on my first toon. Then I got to outlands and was like WOW, that was an utter waste of time and effort in trying to gear myself. Then my second toon, I was like WHATEVER. The gear is crap before outlands anyways unless you have epics... which will be roughly on par with outland quest crap.
You'll laugh at yourself for even worrying over gear from any instance pre-outlands. Of course, you should really laugh at the person who said they need it for an off-spec, when they'll be fully geared resto in like 6 quests from outlands anyways (ok maybe a few more than 6, but you get the idea).
Sorry it happened, but it's a game and people are selfish. :/ It's sad but true.

I have a gripe with that comment. My Druid, who is currently Feral, plans to respec to Restoration somewhere in the future once he has enough healing gear. If he's not allowed to roll on any healing gear while in instances, how is he going to accumulate enough healing gear to switch to healing so that he might be eligible to roll for your precious healing gear?
Um easily? LOL How many healers wear leather? Well, three CAN wear leather but only 1 generally wears it. Most Shammies prefer mail healing items, most pallies prefer plate healing items. Unless it is a significant upgrade for a shaman or paladin, only a druid would generally need.
Also, most outland quests have 1 item of plate, 1 of mail, 1 of leather, and 1 of cloth. Said item is usually melee dps, caster dps, healing, or tank. So, every quest you complete usually has only 1 item of gear you'd want to wear (mail for shaman, leather for druid... whatever). And it has a 33% chance to be for your spec (unless you are a non-hybrid) and a large percent chance to be for an off-spec. SOOOOO if you complete your quests, you will end up with a full set for an off-spec.
I had a full set for Resto (obviously being resto shaman), enhancement, and elemental. I'm a pack rat and just started clearing all that crap gear because I know I won't respec away from resto unless some miracle happens. It really isn't that hard to get gear for off-specs.
