I'd actually say linking a full talent spec isn't particularly helpful to this kind of discussion, you're better off posting a guideline of how you spent your points as you leveled up. It's more interesting, and especially for the classes which have a lot of talents that end up being taken at max level in the earlier parts of their trees it can be helpful to know this. You can count on common sense to some extent, but on occasion what seems the most logical choice isn't. For an example see Latito's post above; most rogues leveling with Assassination would be very likely to pick up Lethalithy, but unless you're using Backstab a lot while leveling and have Improved Backstab, the talent really doesn't do you much good because your crit rate simply won't be high enough (This also counts in some extent for other of the good rogue talents; I leveled my rogue as Assassination and respecced him once he hit 50 to better optimize his talents around Mutilate and my sudden increase in combo point generation).
There's also some classes in which picking up your "ultimate" talent in a tree is something really not worth doing at it's earliest level; generally because the ability is too situational, or while great in a group environment, not needed in a solo environment where things are dying too quick for it to be of use anyway.
I'm also unsure whether there's still much to be said on this subject; there's a lot of guides out on the internet providing excellent soloing specs for every class the game has to offer. These don't provide the only way you can play a class, but typically they'll provide you with the build which is easiest to get the hang of while also having good killing speed.
