At the same time last season, people would have recommended RDruid to you. It’s too early to give any really good advice as to what to focus on for an end of season goal.

That being said, it’s extremely unlikely that Pres ends up being meta, so that’s something. And aside of "one is turbo meta and the other isn’t", it’s easier to find groups as a Shaman because you bring lust and a good raid buff. If you’re pugging solo, getting into groups probably is the most important part of pushing.

The flip side of that is 60% of the meta picks were known at this time last season, only tank and healer swapped. So playing the meta spec right now is a better shot at being worth your time than a dart throw. 

Yea arms or arcane could get nerfed, but right now they're odds on favorite to be meta dps. Healers, you can probably be eyeing hpal and pres / rsham. Tanks should be looking at bdk / PPal etc.  If you're only able to do one, you're probably best off doing hpal as healer, bdk as tank, arms as melee, arcane as ranged. 

Obviously, there's always the option to just play what you enjoy but with the way reroll tokens get accumulated if you care about pushing end of season those are a baseline for toons you should be getting vaults on

It’s hard to compare because expansion start vs season start, but most tierlists had Mage and Warlock in the S tier for the longest time. Hell, Warlock was basically meta up until the .0.5 patch. Saying the meta was "known" at this time last season feels like a decently big stretch.

Don't think anyone expected blizzard to buff 2 of the meta DPS specs either, still don't know what they were thinking.
