Why Mana Adept is broken

• Disproportionately disruptive to rotation, compared to T15 talents of the other specs and classes. Talents like that are typically reserved for the higher tiers, often the L100 tier. Examples: Glacial Spike versus Thermal Void, Kindling versus Meteor. These talents provide the most noticeable playstyle variations and are confined to the same row.

• MA would not even be the first disruptive talent to make the jump from T15 to T100. Ray of Frost probably never belonged in the first tier, and was moved accordingly. I'm NOT implying that simply swapping Arcane Orb and Mana Adept would completely fix the issue. It would just place MA into a spot where it's allowed to be tuned more appropriately given its overall effects on rotation. (Extra bonus: T15 gets an AoE talent that is good.)

• Enforces a constrictive rotation onto the player for a spec that is already rigidly synchronized with cooldown timings (Rune of Power, Arcane Power). Being unable to spend extra mana to take down a ne
