For example, at the beginning of S3 paladins were basically the red-headed step children in arena. Nobody wanted a pally on their team except in 5v5 and pallys weren't though of as being very powerful. Fast forward a few months and a retribution specced paladin is found on a good percentage of the top teams in several brackets.
Well easier said than done for hybrids. For instance I'm a raiding enhancement shaman, I'm very useful in raids no complaints there. And I could respec to Restoration for arena, thats not a massive problem either. The problem arises when I want to do some casual PvP in the form of world objectives or BGs. What am I meant to do? Respect to resto every time I want to do some PvP for an hour or so or use PvE gear? Thats going to get expensive very quickly!

This problem is not encountered by non hybrids since while you may not be optimal in raid spec you can still do ok in your arena gear. When a hybrid respecs its almost like changing class, you need to totally re-itemize
