Not really, you forgot armor/stat reforging. I'm not quite sure what it does yet, but I think it lets you change the stats on your gear. If anything, we won't have any "clones" at all.

They will change alot of the talent trees, no more "yay when i level up i get 1% more crit!" those things will come automaticly as you spend points in the tree. Which makes more room for different talents that gives different niches.
edit: agree with him ^ , we won't have any clones

Str still gives 2 ap to plate wearers, but tanks have never stacked str or ap. What comes on gear is plenty. Instead tanks will be focusing on stam (blue), dodge/parry (red), and block (yellow).

Reforging, Path of the Titans and the Mastery system should make sure not everybody is the same.
Reforging - allowing gear to match your personal playstyle. I'd guess that most people will lower Stamina (usually), to increase their offensive stats (Str, Agi or Int). But what if you have to choose between Intellect and Spirit? Mana, SP and Crit or Mana Regen?
Path of the Titans - freeing up more talent space. I am pretty sure each talent tree has
at least
3 talents that can and probably will be removed (the boring ones).
Mastery System - still not sure how that'll work. It might be that all of us will get the same types of bonuses, it might be that you'll get different Masteries based on how you play.

NO MORE COOKIE CUTTER SPECS that is all...
no seriously I see this as the death of the cookie cutter spec and the opening of a way to make everyone much different in there views of the talents.

On reforging, from what i have read you cannot increase a stat that is already on the item, so on a item with Stam,Agi and haste you can increase int,spirit, str and most probably hit,crit,dodge,parry too ...

Why would this remove cookie cutter specs? I bet there'll be more viable choices, but certain talents are always going to be better for certain things than others. There will always be one or two best talent specs per tree or class.

No... Inevitably, someone will find the most efficient way to spec your "Path". It might take a while, but after a bit of testing one particular spec will always work better than another. The ones that prove to be better will become popular, and then cookie cutter.

Many high-end raiders will shun, say, warriors or paladins tanks who stack stamina because they lose these other stats.
What? Stamina stacking is not new at all, and is actually welcomed by one of the tanking schools of thought (the other ones being avoidance stacking and balancing everything). Stamina stacking has also been proved being the way to go in end game, except in certain particular situations where you'll prefer avoidance.
