Worth noting: HoT HP's are no joke. There are a handful of "commune with this place" points and some challenges that are definitely soloable, but most will require groups to be able to kill unless you're a MLG pro or something. Your best bet is keeping an eye on LFG channels and, at least once you've unlocked waypoints, joining HP trains if you can find any.
HP's in PoF/EoD are almost all very, very soloable, so if you're frustrated/struggling with HoT HP's to progress an elite spec you'll be able to backfill a
lot of those points in PoF/EoD. I just finished off all three elite specs on my engineer and while I think I cheated a bit with some of the core traitline progress via boosting from free stuff, I was able to unlock all masteries using PoF/EoD HP's, plus a few EoD/core Tyria points. Very, very doable even if you can't earn most of the HP's in HoT.
Only benefit to having excess HP's (which you will, if you earn them all or even most of them) is that when the next expansion rolls around you'll be able to quickly/instantly unlock the next elite spec with what you have left over.
