As some of you know, I run a Discipline/Holy priest myself and this bug affects me the same as anyone else. I would love to have it fixed sooner as well, but realize that there are many other issues that are being worked on at the same time and being fixed concurrent to these bugs. In the meantime I'll make due.

We don't have class specific CMs because it would actually hinder our ability to share information with a class we weren't seen as being "in touch" with should we have information to share. Our credibility as being capable messengers for that class is questioned when we are bringing valid and important information. If one of us isn't available to share the information, another can step in easily and relay the information. If we had a specific person dedicated only to that class and someone else stepped in, people would say they didn't believe it and wouldn't until "x" person said it. This is not how we want to relay information. We are all equally given the ability to relay information to anyone as it's made available to us and that's an important part of our jobs.

Many perceptions of us not understanding the "plight" of a class come from when we have to say "no" or have an answer for people that isn't particularly popular.

Yes, sometimes we share what we play on occasion when relaying information for the sake of letting people know we're right there with them playing and seeing the issues, but we don't want that to pigeon-hole us in the eyes of the community to only being able to communicate on those particular issues.
