I don't think the 31 point talents should be appreciably superior to the other x1 talents. After 21 in a tree, 10 more for the 31 point talent should be just as viable as 11 in another tree. I'd like to see 11/21/11 (+8) to be just as attractive as 11/31/0 (+9).
I also don't agree with the common opinion of the holy tree. This is coming from a Druid healer, so I'm used to using long cast time heals because it's all I have... but none of them look seriously out of whack to me as an outsider to the class. Yes, there are a couple of talents that specifically buff the big long cast heal. One is identical to the one I swear by on my Druid and there is another talent to reduce cast time. If there was a similar cast time reducer in my restoration tree I'd certainly take it.
As for Druid tree's being fine, the restoration tree is. I'd like to be able to spend more points there - like it or not, in the endgame raids I do nothing but heal and it's not possible for me to spend all 51 talent points on improving that aspect as a Priest can - but the tree is OK. The other trees... to a first appoximation, every 40+ Druid has Innervate. Druid talent selection is about what to do after you've taken every good talent in restoration.
