I'm blocked from seeing the new talent tree, but did get on a Bloomberg machine for a little unfiltered access. I couldn't play with things much, but what I did see was the synergy talents were all 11 points plus in both trees. On a brief glance, you're basically forced to go holy for the instant smites, but you're missing all the nice things that you have in WotLK (divine aegis, reflective shield, etc).

I'll check out your talent build at lunch when I'm going home to get unfiltered access. At a glance, this team is not going to grow in power much, and likely will not be as good at 85 as it is at WotLK 80. I'm not going to give up on them yet, because they're a ton of fun, and I'm still hoping Blizzard does away with the retarded 31 point talent is a must, but I doubt it. I don't blame Blizzard for doing what they did, as they are catering to the larger player base, but that doesn't mean I'm personally happy about it.

Your spec is pretty close to what I would use, but IMO it still sucks compared to what is available now.

You're missing pain suppression, divine aegis, reflective shield, smite takes 0.2 seconds longer, and stronger shields.

By being forced to go deeper into the holy tree, you're gaining more powerful heals, speed boost from PW:Shield, CoH, and a ton of wasted talents (renew buffs, Chakra, lots of things that proc of heals you'll rarely use).

The changes to Cata are nice, and there are some cool abilities that didn't have before, but forcing you into holy build to get Surge of Light makes a good portion of the talent tree worthless. People said we had wasted talents before because things would buff by 1/2/3% or whatever, but by forcing us into one talent tree for the majority of our points I see more wasted talents than before.

not too bad, but how much damage can you pull off with it?

The problem is your build is impossible. You are FORCED to get the 31 point talent in at least one tree, only allowing for 10 points for the other trees. I haven't looked at the details of your build, but if it was possible, I'd be extremely happy (it's still possible they'll change the proposed system to remove the 31 points forced, but I doubt it... I think they're doing this because they want it much easier to balance things and the easiest way to do that is force cookie cutter).

If it was possible, I'd go with a talent tree similar to this:

C'mon Blizzard... don't force us into 31 points... make us give up mastery talents or something. Seriously, if mastery talents are that good, then most people will go into them anyway. Don't take away our options!

The only chance is that Blizzard removes the requirement for 31 points into one tree and allows hybrid builds. I'd put that at 10%.
