Cover in Sith Flashpoint means Sith cover-user class?

With the latest video documentary release the forums are buzzing with people trying their best to find out every bit of information there is to garner from the video. It has created a veritable Easter egg hunt. One of these "possible finds" intrigued us more than others that was noticed by Sedit on the forum, one which could spoil a class reveal entirely. The question Sedit and we raised is if there are no classes on the Sith side that can use cover why design for it in a Sith flashpoint (instance)? The question obviously has an answer with only one of two possibilities -

A Sith cover-user class that has yet to be revealed will make use of the cover seen in the flashpoint.
The Republic will be able to play Sith flashpoints possibly for extra replayability or roles reversed.

Both outcomes are big reveals. On the one hand you have the possibility of a new cover-user class and on the other more replayability or interaction in Sith flashpoints for Republic faction players. It is a good question to ask and one that I inevitably missed while doing the dissection. Thanks to Sedit for brining it up in the forum thread.

Woot, I just noticed this blog, thanks for the kudos!

Sadly, as big of a potential spoiler as this was, it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal to the masses. I suppose most people want to play Sith/Jedi and the other classes aren't that important?

Truthfully I only really care because I'm going to be a Bounty Hunter and I'm already thinking of ways to try and defeat the cover system. Having a sith ally who can use cover would be a great help to me while I swing around (hopefully on a jet-pack) to get a better shot at the wimp in cover, hopefully shooting him in the back while he lay stuck helplessly in cover..../whiched-laugh

Dont worry. You are not alone as I plan on being a non-jedi first. I just cant pick yet because there are secret ones out there. http://darthhater.com/2009/07/14/jedisith-wars-ahoy/ relates to this problem.
