The price on respec decreases over time. I can't see anything more effective.

LOL? It gets more expensive over time until it caps at 50g a re spec.

You would have an npc who stores your talent templates, much like a stable stores a hunter's pet. Anytime you wanted to switch to a template you already have saved, it would be free.
So instead of any cost to respec, you think it'd be fair and balanced for everyone to be able to fill out all 3 of their talent trees and switch between them at any time for free...why not just give 3 talents a level so you wont even need to switch, or remove player allocation of talents and fill in all the trees automatically? And like wowgeek said, this will just result in everyone rolling need on everything in sight.

True it wouldn't be as big of an issue for mages or hunters who would generally use the same items in any spec, but the hybrids would be killer. Pally's say i need healing, dps, and tank.. shamans needing spell damage, melee dps, and healing gear. "sorry mage, you dont get that spell damage robe you really need because the enhance shaman took it for his other spec. sorry tank no shield for you, that went to the shaman as well" It would be nice to change more often though, i wish i could go from prot to ret for my dailies all the time. I guess we just gotta bite the bullet and pay the 50g as undesirable as that may sound.
On the OP though, why do you want players respeccing when entering an instance? I would assume its because of the lack of tanks/healers on most servers, but even many people who have been rolling as a tank still suck at it. Why would you want someone stepping in with little to no experience at a role? I know if someone wanted me to switch to holy and keep them alive they'd be sadly disappointed at the results.

how about you pay 200g or somthing to get a PvP template.. every time you enter the battleground it would ask you.. would you like to switch to your PvP templete "yes" "no"
and it would go back to ur old spec when you leave the BG ?

This way it allows tanks and shadow priests etc to come into instances, which sounds good but....Why?

that pvp template is a good idea to be honest i think
i thought about it, and came up with somehting similair, but a little different
give everyone just 2 different talent saves and upon login you choose which saved specc you use...
for the whole day
...
you won't be able to reset it untill the next day...
the reset interval could be at the same time heroic dungeon saves is cleaned...
the reason i say a day, is to counter abuse from this feature, ppl switching during pve/pvp stuff is now not possible, and shouldn't be made possible...
ppl will have the ability to make a pvp and pve specc and choose what they will do that day...
i think the ppl more in service to others in pve would be glad for this change, bcs they would be able to do other stuff with their pvp (dps) specc...
i know this doesn't do anything against the rolling on items for your offspecc... can't think of a solution for speccs that does...
in the end nothing changes, ppl only have the ability to save 2 seperate speccs and get an option to choose upon login
if you want to respec you respec the specc you choose upon login, the costs etc and all other rules remain the same

Alternate Method: Get someone else to pay for them. The guild, the group, etc.
If they want you to respec, they should at least be willing to share in the expense.

If they want you to respec, they should at least be willing to share in the expense.I agree on situations like asking a fire mage to respec frost for Alar (please don't start a "useless" comment, it's just an example) or a hybrid to respec heal because you're missing some, then the guild should pay.
However, there's no way i would let anyone get money from the guild bank (PvE guild) for respeccing to PvE if it was because they took a PvP spec for the week-end.

...No, that's bad. I sometimes spec heal for a karazhan run in the afternoon or week-end and then back to dps for the guild raid in the evening.
If you want to stop abuse from "instant spec changes", it's easier to make people do it at a certain NPC, or put a short 10-15 minutes timer on it, ...
But limiting spec for a whole day is too rigid, i'd prefer to keep paying gold.
