I dont know if anyone actually thought about it, but isnt the talent tree for shaman in Cata already on wowhead.
There arent any tanking talents and even more so less than before, although not set in stone I cant see it happening, would be cool, but unlikely.
The way I interpreted those talent trees was that they were unofficial pieced together guesses. I.E. Somebody read all the official press releases and modified the tree in accordance with all available information. But bliz didn't specifically post it anywhere.
I think
Ya, I think they are official from blizz just not set in stone.

Blizz supplied the talent trees personally, they are the current alpha incarnation. None of the trees are complete, you can even read about it on the official forums somewhere.

Well there ya go, it farther proves that Shaman tanking probably will not happen.

Why is everyone freaking out the second they hear Shaman Tank?
It won't kill the game and end the world. It isn't like everyone will suddenly roll Shaman tanks and cause the accounts to asplode.
Is blizzard physically putting a gun to your head and telling you to play a Shaman tank? NO!

Tank spec?
I went into Unrelenting Storm but I suppose it could be spent in Reverberation instead.
Despite Rockbiter's new effects and a few talents, I don't see serious tanking happening for our class. The masteries and gear stats will still be an issue. However, for leveling via the LFD feature, I see it as a possibility. Not so much for endgame.

Why put Rockbiter as a lvl 75 ability?

Not even for leveling via the LFD tool. We'll get rockbiter at level 75. Unleash Elements we get at level 81.
Oh right. I thought it was the new rank of Rockbiter Weapon at level 75, but I forgot they're eliminating ranks and that spells increase automatically each level.
Stoneclaw Totem has been moved up to level 58, and the only thing we have until that point is Frost Shock (which we get at 20).
Say whaaaaat? I've leveled two shaman to 80 and found Stoneclaw Totem (along with its glyph) absolutely essential for leveling right from the get-go. That's a strange move on Blizzard's part moving it all the way up to level 58 where it actually starts to LOSE its value.
Besides, we still can't (AFAIK) queue as tanks while using the LFD tool, so it's kind of impossible.
Well, with the new Rockbiter Weapon and its respective Unleash Weapon ability, I would have thought Blizzard would change that option in the coming expansion. But with all the "possible" tanking abilities gained so late in the game, I'm seriously confused about what exactly Blizzard is trying to do here.
