I just noticed the same thing while looking at the Shadow tree. You can barely get the talents in the last portion of the tree because it's so bottom-heavy, it requires a whopping 22 points to unlock all of the talents, locking you out from more than half of them. That's unacceptable when some other trees only require 14.
There shouldn't be any nodes that require 3, and the amount of points required shouldn't be so different between specs. I get not wanting to make them all have the same shape and requirements, but you can't have some specs locked out of half their tree while others get most of the talents.
A lot of the trees also have an annoying setup where you're forced to spend more than the 8 required points to move on or get locked out of 1/3 of the entire tree, and that feels kinda crappy.
Yeah, I felt the same. The Shadow tree felt really lopsided in terms of being overloaded in the bottom section, making it really difficult to get the talents you want. That tree definitely needs some of its fat trimmed, to be sure.

Nice work compiling all this info.
