Mainly because after a while you get cross eyed watching two bars for 4 hours per night!

A macro is almost as good in ideal situations and is usually better when you're not quite on the ball.

I had this dilemma at one point. Tried 2/3 TotH and it was almost useless. 3/3 TotH is a lot better than 2/3 in practice.

You should take 3/3 in both talents, for now.
