I do not deal well with change

So I logged on to WoW. All my add-ons are broken down, but that's cool. I can look them up and update them later. (Although SC put them on in the first place, so I'm going to have to bug him about what he had on here. I know what effects they had, but not their names.) Like half my spells are gone. I kind of flipped out.

I went to Ironforge, talked to my trainer, bought a dual talent specialization, trained the stuff I needed to train, and then looked at my talent trees and was just like ffffffffffffffffff WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN. I put about 8 points into my Ret spec and 3 into my Holy spec and then freaked out and logged. AND NOW I MUST GO RESEARCH.

Or.... go play my mage/shaman/warrior/priest.

EDIT: GREAT NEWS: PLAYING A LEVEL 8 SHAMAN IS AT LEAST 25% MORE FUN THAN IT WAS BEFORE. AND IT WAS PRETTY FREAKING FUN BEFORE. ALSO, I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT THE ENHANCEMENT TREE. DUDES AND LADIES: IT LOOKS PRETTY FREAKING AWESOME. Also, I am sure that a lot of the totems disappearing/getting consolidated is going to be shitty for people who have been shamaning forever, but it makes it so much easier to learn the class when I'm not freaking out about which of my seven earth totems i should be using. :D

edit2: Okay, after reading retpally's posts about the ret changes, I felt confident enough to go update my talent tree on Honor and go dick around on the training dummy a bit. I definitely need some sort of add-on to display my Holy Power more prominently so I can see when I have three charges more easily. I am definitely doing less damage, although I forgot to Blessing of Might myself so I will have to look at that a bit. (I also suspect this has a lot to do with my crit chance being literally halved.) Art of War is definitely proccing much less, but it's much much more obvious when it does so. Word of Glory at 3 charges heals for a hell of a lot (about 3/4 of my HP). Holy Power regen is not as bad as I was led to believe. I definitely need moar haste because spamming Crusader Strike waiting for it to come off cooldown is no fun. I basically moved Consecrate to the "clicky" part of my bar now that Holy Wrath is basically the cheaper AoE and Consecrate got EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE. I also can't really practice using my Hammer of Wrath on the target dummies, so I guess I'll see that in action.

This is my talent tree as it currently stands. I'm almost tempted to take that point out of Divine Storm, since when I'm purely doing damage, I'm using my Holy Power solely on Templar's Verdict. But the healing effect of DS might be needed at some point, so I guess I'd better keep it. Long Arm of the Law is fun, but I'm not sure I'm gonna keep those two points there or move them to Acts of Sacrifice (in the beta it also gives a movement-impairing effect removal to self-cast Cleanses) or Guardian's Favor.

I'm also not sure where I'm going to be in action, but on the target dummy, I was evened out at around 50% mana and kind of chilled out there, so I'm not really having the OOM issues I'd heard some folks were having. But I'm not out in the world having to heal myself or getting to use a lot of my more expensive abilities.
