This is great news. Talent trees have gotten way too big, and so many talents were just filler. It seems they have pruned every worthless talent, and rather than give us an overabundance of talent points, they just scale them down. It's the same stuff as before, but less diluted. This also lets them have more control over hybrid specs that they do not want (i.e. elemental shamans dual wielding, and getting a lot of extra spellpower from flametongue and weapon enchant.) Great news IMO.
