After more than 150 hours in this game I can only heavly agree with every single point OP mentionned.
I hope they will take this into account...this is the report that their comunity manager should bring to their meeting table.
I would also be very interested to see detailed the major issue around how you/the community think the Ability system could be redesigned (ability-non-scaling skills, imbalances, specialization uslessness etc.).
And then I can only wait for them to go through the list..
