30 Cookie Cutters + Worthless/Burn Talents

Because you have cut back on tiers, points, and options for talents, you have essentially made 30 cookie cutter specs and have killed the fun in choosing talents. For example, as a discipline priest, I have to get Power Word Barrier, and I have to get Inspiration as it is vital for tank healing, and I am left with 2 points to spare in “what I choose”. As a restoration druid I can purchase all of my healing points including my offspec without any points to spare. Why give us the choice to choose talents if you only give us the option to choose your cookie cutter builds in the first place?

Also, can we fix the trees to avoid “burn talents”? It hurts a lot more to spend a point or more when I have half has many points to spend. I still have to spec into "pvp/leveling" talents to get down the tree.

In addition, can you guys clean up the talents that 99% of the players avoid 99% of the time? A few examples:
Reflective Shield- Useless when priest only, Broken when it effects the entire raid.
Improved Drain Soul - Only useful when leveling and there are better leveling options.
Improved Searing Pain – Last used on Leotheras the blind in SSC.
I mean either fix them or replace them with something useful.

I know that balance issues are your current priority, but I think the trees in their current condition need some major revision. I am not trying to troll, but I think in the attempts to prevent broken and complicated builds that you have killed the fun out of choosing our talents. At this point, I would prefer a “discipline button” and automatically get your cookie cutter spec instead of taking the time to fill in the points you are forcing us to take.

Maybe I am being to jumpy and I don't see the whole picture, but better to bring it up now before it goes live. Anyways, thanks for not giving out my personal information to the people who might stalk/kill me.
