The Echo Isles are indeed beautiful, I've died many times to tigers and inartistic trolls whilst taking screenshots of the sunsets. Inartistic looks so wrong but spellcheck insists its right but then should I be listening to a computer who thinks that I might be trying to spell "Aberdeenshire" as "screenshot". I do however like Silverpine. To borrow the words of Joseph Addison, Silverpine "fill[s] the mind with an agreeable kind of horror". It's straight out of a gothic horror, filled with lots of clichés which just add to the charm.

I agree about the talents, its true across quite a few of the trees. Take druids, the first two feral tiers you get lots of stuff buffing a form you don't have (cat). One option on the first tier buffs ferocious bite, a spell you get a lv 32 which is fairly useless at lv 10. I actually think thats why a lot of new druids level as balance. You've spent the first ten levels using wrath / moonfire and it makes sense to buff spells you actually have, rather than spend talents on ones you don't have.
