Ignoring timeouts, I agreed on both counts. My annoyance is probably just an artifact of what my addon is doing. For all intent and purposes, querying the active talent spec of a target takes 1-3 seconds (depending on latency). That's pretty annoying/expensive just for a 1/2 response.

Conversely, only sending the active talent spec could result in significant savings for that specific call. Right now that's coupled to the inspect data via GetActiveTalentGroup. Allowing free-for-all querying of anyone's active talent group would be rad, if possible.
