Come dualspec I can either choose to be BM(solo)+BM(Raid) or I can be BM(Raid)+MM/SV.
If the CD on pet switching is long, I cannot switch to a MM/SV spec for specific bosses. I mention thaddius because that is one of the fights I can really see how the design of the fight hurt my dps - simply because the pet doesn't get the damage increase, so I only get half the increase others do. Thaddius isn't a problem though, but that kind of fight in Ulduar progression with dualspec an option means I cannot stay BM, as we would have to squeeze out more dps getting our hunters (including me) to rely less on pet damage.

In Ulduar progression, being primarily BM, I would not be able to be effective on bosses that "require" me to be another spec, because if the CD on pet switching is much longer than a bossfight, I would be stuck with a pet that wasn't specced for my BM role because I couldn't bring my exotic back - which would then invalidate the other half of the 51 pt bm talent - we would get dps increase from it, but the exotic pets - forget them (which makes me sad, I like my core hound )
