Does anyone else find it odd that...

If Blizzard would jazz up the rarely-used talents, I think we'd have a lot fewer cookie cutter talent builds, as people would be better encouraged to put points in talents that improve the skills they like, as opposed to just putting points in the only talents that don't seem like a waste.

I agree with this. What I think would make the largest impact is in the priest holy tree to make some small changes to the latter part of the tree:

swap locations of Improved Healing and Master healer (or call them something else)

Master healer, instead of reducing casting time by 0.1 per level reduces casting time by 8% per level, but also reduces healing and mana by a certain percent. Such that the end result would be much faster than what exists now, but not quite as mana efficient. Priests with this talent would have the choice of 1.5, 2.1 and 2.4 second heals, with the 1.5 potentially gaining the un-interruptability status from improved flash heal.

Placing it in this tier would allow people to get this more transformative talent with only 20 points invested, which allows them to go 31 deep in another tree if they desire, but they would forego the mana efficiency gain that the full holy priests would have.

I think it would make for some more interesting builds in all kinds of priests, as currently you really only have people investing in holy up to subtlety and maybe improved flash heal.

I love the way the rogue trees are setup. There are some tough tradeoffs, and yet, all the "standard" 4 or 5 builds are about equally effective. There are some little used talents, but that is bound to happen. These are the model talent trees for WoW, at least in my opinion.
