Remove Crit Immunity talents for Cataclysm

The designers have said they don't want the talent trees to be boring. To me, having to place talent points into non-critability is boring and obviously all tanks are going to spend them there.

Here is the suggestion:

Integrate non-critability into a function of the class being played, for example:

- If a Warrior is in defensive stance, he/she gets -6% chance to be crit
- If a Druid is in bear form, he/she gets -6% chance to be crit
- If a Death Knight is in frost presence, he/she has -6% chance to be crit

This eliminates the need for the talents in PvE, and would probably not be really overpowered for PvP since most PvP'ers don't use these stances/forms/etc except as a defensive tactic.

I'm not familiar enough with the tank mechanics of Paladins, but I'm sure they could work in something, perhaps with their aura or something (if there's one that is used predominately for tanking).

Q u o t e:
- If a Warrior is in defensive stance, he/she gets -6% chance to be crit
- If a Druid is in bear form, he/she gets -6% chance to be crit
- If a Death Knight is in frost presence, he/she has -6% chance to be crit

It's too early for us to have a ton of confidence in how this will play out, but I suspect it will more likely be something like this than talents or mastery.

Paladins would use Righteous Fury.

This works even better if resilience does not reduce crit chance. :)
