Ret PVE: 0/5/54=12 missing talent points??

So I've been going through the Paladin and DPS forums, and I haven't found a post on this.

Looking at the new 3.1 talent tree, Ret PVE dps build looks like this: 0/5/54 = 12 missing talent points.

So with just 59 used talent points I have maxed out all the skills that give benefit to raid dps and with the incoming nerfs to Fanaticism and Righteous Vengeance this puts a grim light on the future.

I haven't seen anyone post on this so I thought I would see how the Ret community thinks Blizzard is going to handle this.

One of the changes we are trying to do with Ret is to get them into the other trees a little more. This is definitely one of those specs where players would go 0/0/71 if we let them. I would not assume that trees with few talents are unfinished. The Prot warrior lost a lot of talents in LK, but it was a good change for them. Overall, our trees are probably too thick for lots of classes which makes it hard to spend many points in a second tree.

We do want to bring Ret's damage up a little, and we would like to get more talents in the other trees that they actually want to take.
