Go frost or unholy. Want to play a warlock and be a summoner? Play demonology. Already content with the spec currently in game? Stay in the same spec.
Part of the problem, at least for me, is how the community responds to it. In your example; why go Frost/Unholy on death night when X is mathed out to be the better DPS? You're a Warlock with Demonology, too bad. We need Destruction Warlock. Heck, I had a friend playing one class and was forced by his guild to switch to Restoration Druid because that's what they "NEEDED".

That was in WoW though right? That could never happen here right? Yeah. The community that copied STR accessories of higher end raiders in Heavensward, that blames Paladins for Clemency casts, that complained till every Card is Balance, and more.

I like the idea of Talents. Just the idea. But how do you stop just 1-2 talent set ups from being crowned King by the community and then said community getting salty when someone deviates from it? or making content balanced around said less effective talents?

In short, the idea isn't bad. I don't have faith in the devs to balance it or the community to not break it.
