From a design standpoint, the 31 point requirement prevents any of the hybrid specs that developed and caused unintended playstyles that required talent removal/redesign. Anyone remember dual wielding elemental shaman with Mental Quickness before Blizzard patched and moved Mental Quickness deep in the enhance tree?

That's what I'm referring to. I can conceed there's about 20 points in the elemental tree I would consider "mandatory" and 5 in the enhancement tree - I guess the remaining 11 are supposed to feel "flavorful." Some are, but most are just meh.
Was indeed not directed at you but more in general
