Big Changes Coming Next Push

[Tal]

However, if Priests are not given something via Talents, their usefulness in PvE will be hurt even more.  Already I can see with my level 45 Priest why they're unpopular - they just aren't very hot at soloing, requiring a lot of downtime unless you get a mage friend to make you some mana every time you log on.

Looks like priest talents will help on this score. But since BWhittle is giving hints on making your mana last in the same post I somehow doubt it will be enough. We'll have to see. :)
