In WoW, Priests can play either the DPS or Healer in dungeons in their two Support and one DPS spec. In The War Within, Priest Hero Talents help to add some flavor and effectiveness to one of the game's darling classes, but you can only choose one to spec into, and are always locked off from one of the three available trees based on your spec.
