There are an awful lot of abilities that appear to be missing from the WOW Gold talent calculator. This could simply mean that they're missing from the Talent Calculator. It could also mean they're being removed from the game. It's hard to tell at this point.

　　It wasn't fun in Firelands, when elemental's viability like a DPS spec largely depended on the brokenly potent set bonus and a family pet with a restricted AI and bad motor skills. A fix is needed for Mists of Pandaria, even if it's just removing the elementals totally and calling them a failed experiment.

　　From a pure usefulness point of view, this may not seem like much. After all, the "undead expansion" has been here and gone, and there's no word yet if we'll see any real undead mobs in Pandaria. At the same time though, it is a nice bit of fun flavor, and hey, if only for 5 minutes at a time, I'll finally have that geist pet I always wanted. It's also no level 87 skill, so hopefully we'll still see something new for that. Regardless, I do want to see Control Undead stay in, if only for the fun factor.
