It's way too early to tell much about the trees, they'll cut at least 50% of what they're saying they'll do and at release some classes will be overhauled and some will be completely unfinished. It's difficult to compare talents/spells now because of some of the meta changes like dispels, but as someone who always played a priest, I don't care much for the direction. Of course, they've been making the class incrementally worse since bc so I can't be surprised.

They should just add a 4th tree that serves as either tank or healer to all of the pures.
They really should. Hunter and Warlocks tanks, Mage and Rogue healers. There were enough terribads playing healers and tanks when I still played, it's not like this would change anything on that front (though I could imagine the sinking feeling when you get into a group and find a rogue healer and a hunter tank).
