Ever since Blizzard released its Cataclysm Talents Tree Post-Mortem, I've been thinking about the structure of our class and talent trees; as for all that Blizzard asserts that the trees are mostly good with just a few "clunker talents" and "traps for the unwary", an honest assessment of the Assassination tree reveals more talents and abilities in need of fixing than not, which seems to me to go a bit beyond the handful of talents that Blizzard seemed to indicate.
