Moving toward 6.0, I don't know how many talent tiers we will have going forward, so keep that in mind when discussing them.
In order to properly remove the current T6 talents, I feel it would be best to rework parts of their passives into the defensive tier of talents. Here's what I mean.
In addition to its current effect, Temporal Shield now restores mana equal to 20% of the damage absorbed and increases Spellpower by 15% after it expires or is dispelled.
In addition to its current effect, Flameglow now passively increases mana regeneration by 60% and increases Spellpower by 50% of the damage absorbed up to a maximum of 20% of your Intellect.
In addition to its current effect, when Ice Barrier is completely absorbed or dispelled, you are energized, returning 15% of your maximum mana. Your Spellpower is passively increased by 10%.

As for my replacements for the current tier, here are my ideas.
