It made what was supposed to be a fun choice at level 10 feel like homework as you had to analyze a dozen or more spells and then compare them to the other specs. You couldn't get a snapshot of what a given spec was about. The problem we had with the previous specialization UI is that it was overwhelming with so many icons scrolling on to multiple pages, many of which you might not get until many levels later.
If you are a priest, you can compare the full Holy spellbook (meaning class + spec spells) to the full Disc and Shadow spellbook whenever you'd like. We are going to show you all the spells you get (for each spec) in the spellbook. While the following window only displays 5 abilities, you will learn twice as many. The in-game specialization tab was recently changed to only highlight essential abilities for your spec, instead of listing everything you'll learn. Here's breakdowns of all the class and specialization abilities, as well as relevant blue posts: Many Cataclysm talents are turning into class and specialization abilities-but there's some fun new class abilities like Symbiosis! We've recently added all of these abilities to our talent calculator so you can easily check to see what's around in a different form, and what's completely new! There will be eight buffs and six debuffs in Mists-all will be covered by several specs, which should make putting together a raid easier.

In addition, many classes have abilities with new animations and spell graphics. We've updated our talent calculator for all specializations and abilities, not just talents! From new talent trees to removed abilities, each class will have changes to make gameplay more fun and flexible-nobody should be forced to pick up a talent or bring a certain class that has a unique talent for an encounter in 5.0. All classes are getting major overhauls in Mists of Pandaria.
