My first thought was "six choices will be disappointing and boring" but seeing how they plan to do, it's best not to even think about them as talents. Talents were (on an individual basis) tiny tweaks to your class that all combined to increase your power a lot. But 80-90% of those tweaks were mandatory to maximize your class.

Now, there will be many fewer talents, but every single one might be a big change to gameplay. Which means re-speccing will no longer be about a small tweak to achieve a mathematical benefit that you only see in careful parsing but rather a significant change to how you play your class...whole new abilities.

That could actually prove to be a lot more fun and interesting and make choices meaningful, even if fewer.
