One of the talents that I find golden is Silence. As one of the WoW Forum posters put it, "Silence: A nice warm glass of shut-the-hell-up." :)
In places like Hordemar City in LBRS, it's great for bringing casters into melee range. I usually arrange a left/right split with the mage on casters, and we'll use Counterspell and Silence to bring the casters in where the melee types can whack at 'em. It's really nice as it prevents having to move up and engage them where patrols can add.
So, personally, I'd be tempted to take 4 points out of Mental Strength and go for Shadow Reach 3/3 (just to get the 20 required to open Silence) and Silence 1/1.
I guess you don't need it if you're playing in a group that's good with LoS pulling for casters, but sometimes Things Go Wrong, and it's nice to have. Plus the extra range gives you more room to stay out of AoE effects while using Mind Flay.
