Not necessarily role, but philosophy behind the changes.
Now, before you folks start in about wanting to know your role, I want to explain what a trap that sort of question happens to be, and the reason behind us not answering that question often, if at all.
Each class has a role described on the website. This is not geared toward the experienced player, but rather the new player who wants to know what each class is about at its core. Mages, as much as they complain about summoning food and water, are about damage at the core, for example. This allows someone who is unfamiliar with the game to get a handle on all the classes and pick the class they're most interested in.
Now, the veteran players tend to be after a role for a different reason. It can be several things, from being pigeonholed by their guild to a particular role or a personal belief that their class should be sought after to do X. They want to hear that they're the best at something -- either to prove to themselves or others that such is officially the case, or to argue with us that they are not, in fact, the best at X, and they should be.
The simple truth is that World of Warcraft isn't designed to have one person at the top of DPS or healing. It's all situational. Our hybrid class (Druids) and hybrid-like classes (Shaman, Paladin) naturally have a harder time finding their niche, but understand that it's largely player-defined. Find what works best for you. Odds are we won't be giving huge dissertations on class role, as that only serves to pigeonhole people further.
Good daycycle, Citizen!
