The dual-spec feature can't currently wipe buffs that you have already cast on other players when you drop that spec. It is in our plans for that to happen. At first, we figured it wasn't a big deal for 3.1 because it mostly affected things like Improved Mark of the Wild (cast MotW, then change spec to a spec that didn't "waste" the points on it).
However, we do think it has gotten to be a bigger problem for a couple of talents, including Focus Magic and Hunger for Blood, so are liable to hotfix those sooner. The goal is not to so much to nerf classes taking advantage of this "tactic." We are very concerned about anything that will make dual spec feel mandatory. If we're at the point where mages feel like they can't take advantage of the feature because they have to use one spec on Focus Magic (and then have to annoyingly swap specs every 30 min or whatever), then it is time to make the change.
Competitive dps is always a concern. If we think this change will really cripple mage dps (which I think is a little hard to argue at this point), then we'd prefer to buff you in other ways rather than force you to play in a way that feels tedious.
Again: you can all assume that long-term the feature will work that if you swap specs, every buff you cast will be removed. Buff specs were not at all the point of the featue.
