Yes, do be careful spending your points, in that just don't randomly choose something and put your point into it. But on the same token, if this is your first time through, don't spend hours and hours analysing and wracking your brain over what you should take. Ask for advice if you like, but really, there are few bad choices.
I find it easiest to just look at each tree, see what looks good to me, and work my way towards them. With each new class you play, it takes time to find your style. Sure, you may not be the elite uber character, with all their points maxing out the potential of a certain specialization. Don't worry about that. Learn the game, see what talents work for you and which don't. By the time you'll want to respec, you'll easily have the 1 gold to do so. And by then, you'll have a better idea of what talents you like, and what you want more in.
I've respecced my character a total of three times: once when I was in my late 40s, once when the new talents trees were put in and everyone got a free respec, and soon after that as I had realized I had misspent a couple of points I wanted, to better fill out my Discipline tree (my main is a Priestess). I read the forums, but never asked for spec advice, though I have asked friends what they thought of particular talents. In the end, I made my own decisions and discoveries through playing. And if you play a lot and plan on going to Outland with the Burning Crusade expansion, you can make up the cost of a 50 gold respec in one or two nights. Expensive, sure, but you can always spend money to try again if you find yourself needing to.
