When i play Protoss its nice to warp a round of centuries to spend surplus gas. Zerg is generally gas dependent and can blow large amounts of minerals on lings whenever they need.
Besides adding a couple ravens for PDD Viking protection vs stalker fire, there's no efficient way to spend the gas surplus. You're mineral starved so every resource spent on a reaper, or un-upgraded Thor is sub-optimal. Terran doesn't have many options in late game and usually has a surplus of gas, it'd be nice if Blizzard added a late game high tier tech unit that could soak up some of the excess gas and be useful.
If the Battle Hellion and Warhound additions open up mech play as a more viable option, the problem won't exist. I have doubts the Warhound will be useful in TvP, but I'm very optimistic about the Battle Hellion.

it would be nicer if they made the existing units work in tvp :D
i don't see any problems with gas spending in tvz and tvt, a lot of high-tech gas-heavy options are viable in these match-ups. in fact, i usually starve for gas in tvt and tvz (like many other terrans who don't like bio).
