Detailed Look at Spec Performance
The meta starts kicking in once rewards are no longer relevant. In other words, when you pass the level needed for the Great Vault reward. That's where casuals stop playing, and dedicated pushers (and the metaclasses they play) take over the population.
Certain non-meta specializations stay stable (or even gain share) in mid-range keys.
