That's hardly out of line with other classes meaningful choices in PvE raiding.
In PvE raiding these are talents i would never notice if not there:
on my spriest: psyfiend, dominate mind, phantasm, spectral guise, desperate prayer, void tendrils, power infusion
on my prot paladin:long arm of the law, evil is a point of view, repentance, selfless healer, unbreakable spirit, along with a very niche hand of purity
on my prot warrior: juggernaut, warbringer, second wind, impending victory, staggering shout, mass spell reflect, shockwave (hugely niche), avatar.
