Moonkin Spell Rotations (Patch 3.3)

Graylo goes over the spell priorities for moonkin druids at the link below.  I see he says spell rotations are an outdated name for what are actually spell rotations, which reminded me that The Solo MMO Player says the concepts of main and off tanks are outmoded.  Perhaps we should be developing new ways of thinking about raids and how we play?  The game has changed since Vanilla WOW, and we should change with it.
