Eeeeeeh, if you believe the Blizzard devs, talent trees have only been holding back Druid's multi-role functionality (and frankly, I'd well believe it, at least given how poor their talent designs have been for the last 4 packs or so). Since Cata, though, they haven't forced any real specializations of forms within any given role, as each role gets its own talents.
