so, anyone else notice this line in the Arena Mode page?

(this is where i fail at finding the quote stuff, so heres a random stab in the dark at making it work)

[quote]having a Medic or a Health dispenser-building Engineer on your team can be a crucial element to success.[/quote]

notice the one word in there that makes a world of difference?  Health Dispenser.  could mean one of 2 things, either its a regular dispenser, and they just added that "Health" in there to specify that you would mainly only need it for healing, or there may be an indication of a new engy building, which would be a dispenser made only for health.  i was thinking it heals you faster than a regular dispenser, with the tradeoff that you don't get ammo from it.

also, i do believe that they are gonna change the buildings for the engy, because i remember while they were doing the medic update, in one of the interviews they had (that big public event thingy they had), one of the dev's had mentioned they were screwing around with the engy buildings, and this seems like a perfectly viable option.

This could also imply that the engie is next in line for the class updates. (That's really stating the obvious, though).

Really, this would be a great option. I would love being able to set up dispensers that only provided health. IMO, they would be far more valuable than dual ammo/health dispensers if they healed faster.

Engineer is at a bit of a downfall in this arena game play. I wouldn't be surprised if the dispenser healed twice as much.  Teleporters are useless, and building a level 3 sentry at midfield where the entire objective is to capture that point makes it really really hard unless your team backs you up completely.  All he has left is the dispenser, in which case since valve limited the health packs i wouldn't doubt if there was a reduction in ammo packs, making the dispenser extremely valuable for air blasting pyros, natasha wielding heavies and demos and soldiers in general.
