Did you read what he said? He agreed, you are getting less choices. You are getting more that matter.
As an example, it's like if I asked what sport you wanted to play and had you pick from 50 different types and colors of American football. On the other hand, I have you pick between 5 balls that are actually different: soccer, volleyball, etc.
Please show me in the Vanilla, TBC, Wrath, or even Cataclysm talent trees where you have a level of meaningful choice that is even remotely close to the ones shown in the more complete talent trees (not Shaman) like Warlocks, Druids, Priests, etc.
Shaman are clearly not even started for Mists.
If you're a:
Death Knight
Hunter
Rogue
Shaman
Paladin
Tank (of any class)
I'd definitely wait before making judgement. Your classes/specs are pre-alpha and shouldn't have even been released in the talent calculator in my opinion.
