More or less. There are certain talents that are simply flat out better for the content you're doing, often depending on the party size. But sometimes you also have two choices for a talent row that are both equal in performance.
The biggest issue that WoW has are the "borrowed power" systems that the devs feel the need to implement, they almost always force you into a very specific set of choices because otherwise you're just severely gimping yourself in endgame content and changing those around requires an endless amount of grind or some arbitrary timed lockout.
