Third Subclass and Switching? (Destiny)

I understand that once you level up and lock-in your subclass, the game then gives you a duplicate subclass that you can level up in a different way. Maybe that is all the third slot is for?

Hmmm... if you're right about the duplicate, then maybe so. I just don't remember seeing that mentioned anywhere.

On another note, are we able to switch between subclasses on the fly, just as we do with our other inventory? Is there a penalty?
I.e. once I have access to both, am I able to simply switch between being a Gunslinger hunter to a Blade dancer Hunter at will?

I think so. Couldn't test in the beta because the second subclass wasn't actually usable due to level restrictions, but it certainly looked like it was a switchable inventory item, just like any of your weapons or armor.
