This isn't a choice, there is never a choice. As long as there exists a situation where one build is better than another in a given situation, there will be a correct choice and an incorrect choice. I personally am grateful that for frost DK, we are saved the expense of having to buy tomes constantly. We can run the same build in all of nighthold and its 100% optimal. Honestly i dont know what the solution is, beyond making all talents non-dps talents. The only way to allow choice is to make them not matter, or to accept that whatever play style you enjoy, may or may not line up with the best performing choices. If competitive dps matters, there will always be a single correct choice for any given fight.
