For PvP servers, you're always in your PvP spec, which maximizes the world PvP possibilities. PvP specs are fine for soloing, levelling, and grinding cash (maybe not optimal, but good enough).
As well, this would be great for warrior tanks, who would probably have an MS build for their PvP spec, which would have the side-effect of making farming much easier for them.

The situation still often arises where people want to tank things in the world...
Frankly, Blizzard isn't going to implement some kind of weird "Spec X automatically engages in Situation X" thing. It's far too arbitrary and would lead to too much awkwardness and thus complaining. It's just not going to happen. I don't exactly know how Blizzard views all the parts in their game, but I know they don't look at the game like that, where every different slice of the game is welcome to have its own little game mechanics (even though, yes, they do occasionally implement minor loophole fixes in things like Arenas).
