What's inherently wrong with this? There is no tanking class that has all of their tanking talents in the same tree, or trees with tanking talents but no DPS talents.

PvP talents coinciding with tanking talents
What's that got to do with anything? Why shouldn't you be able to use the same spec for PvE and PvP?

rune balancing issues
Have nothing to do with tanking in the specific. Rune balancing issues are a class design issue independent of spec or role.

the fact that there's going to be a "THE tanking spec" but Blizzard can't balance around it
If Blizzard pulls it off - and I'm not saying they will, but I'm at least willing to let them try - there won't be one "THE tanking spec". There will be several specs that maximize certain methods of tanking (avoidance tanking, spell tanking, aoe tanking, etc). They can then balance those specs, just like they balance feral vs resto vs balance, for example.

the higher than average DPS while tanking that got Feral druids nerfed
Presumably Blizzard is aware of the reasons they've nerfed things in the past and won't make something with the intent to nerf it. There's also a MAJOR push through ALL the tanking classes in WotLK to gain threat from damage a lot more than they currently do.
