True, but it used to work without them.  It would just be a matter of
whether Blizzard thinks people would complain about/at them for
someone signing up as a tank in a build that hadn't taken any real
tanking skills or whether people would just send death threats to the
person that signed up without a satisfactory build.

I quite liked how Path of Exile did their talent tree's.  While in
their case, it was one massive web for all classes, and the class you
picked just specified where in it you started from, something similar
could work for WoW.  Each class would have their own "web", with 2 or
more places you could choose to start from, and your spec would be
determined by which place or area you chose to start from.
But it probably would make it even harder to balance the various
classes in any sort of fashion.

Anyway, guess we'll see how things have progressed in another 5 years
or so. :)
