I see limited variety among DPS Warriors as a result. There will still be plenty of trait choices, sure, but it will be VERY quickly figured out which set of traits people speccing a certain way will be the most powerful in order to build towards the top tier choice they want.
This is what happened when GC decided that everybody needs to go X number of points into their primary tree before going elsewhere. Everybody started speccing the same way. The theory was fine behind it, but it didn't actually work in practice.
I just want to get away from the whole thing in WoW where you're not identified as a Warrior, but an Arms Warrior.
I don't want to be identified by which T3 major trait I have, so that I now must spec a certain way in order to be optimal with that major trait.
Obviously I should wait until we see it in practice, and if it gets to release see how it works at release, but I don't want to be restricted in my build choice. :S
