Order of adding talent points

[Bosus]

I'm at level 20, spec'ing talents along the lines of the recommended infiltration shadow build (ala the great shadow guides). Since it allocates a number of points to the kenetic and balanced trees, it's going to be a while before I get to shadow technique on the infiltration tree. How do y'all manage this, just suck up the wait for higher level infiltration talents to get the low level talents of other trees, or add the low-level talents in the other trees later? Thanks, and sorry if this is a repeat!

If you're planning on going infiltration, then spec up the infiltration tree first. At the very least grab the Tier 3 infiltration talents before even looking at other trees. If you're going towards the standard 5/33/3 build, then the talents in other areas are icing on the cake in any case.

I personally put all the points into Infiltration first. This what I did with the standard PvP build: Shadow's Respite -> Infiltration Tactics -> Misdirection -> Celerity -> Shadow Technique -> Circling Shadows -> Masked Assault -> Vigor -> Profundity -> Low Slash -> Exit Strategy -> Security Breach -> Deep Impact -> Clairvoyant Strike -> Subduing Techniques.

Thanks very much!

It depends on how quickly you're going to level up. You get a free respec once a week (or more specifically, the cost structure for respecs resets after a week, and the first one is free), so you might start off spreading your points around, then when you hit 20 respect to go all in one branch to get a good ability, then for the next 9 levels spread the points around, then respec again when you hit 30, and so on. Since it doesn't take too long to hit 20, a lot of people don't bother with that, but for the later ones it'll take you much longer than a week to go from 30 to 40, so feel free to respec as needed.
