I haven't really debugged it but in a TW dungeon it treats me (a tank who's role is tank in the dungeon) as a dps with dps threat colors.

The functions seem to return good information. Using:

local specIndex = GetSpecialization()
local id, name, description, texture, background, role, class = GetSpecializationInfo(specIndex)

if role == "TANK" ...

The spec info update happens on ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED. Is it possible you were DPS outside the dungeon and were swapped to tank automatically when entering the dungeon?

Anyway it might be a good idea to update on PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD also. Not sure if there is a special event fired for the auto talent change when using group finder.

Nope, ALWAYS tank, tank before going in, tank on inside. in fact i was doing world quests before the dungeon and it used tank colors. it LITERALLY changed from tank to DPS as soon as I entered timewalker dungeon (in a tank spec/role)

it'll require debugging but it's just not something I had time to do.

I do know when you enter a dungeon ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED can fire several times and the way they code it now, briefly you might not appear with a spec. it's possible it briefly pulled no spec at all and defaulted dps. possibly adding a delay and throttle to check would solve it. I know in DBM I dropped using ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED completely and just use PLAYER_SPECIALIZATION_CHANGED instead. That may be worth reviewing too.

I noticed this as well on my DH... was really throwing me off lol

This might have been fixed in v1.25 on 26 Oct 2016.
