To me, I think that there is quite a few too many essentia groups. I think that numbing them down sounds really cool and alot less confusing for new players. Also, I think that RPG sorta thing is pretty neat, it adds a new taste and look on Thaumcraft. Third, I like the aura system. It's quite good the way it is, but I think it can be tons better. And finally, I REALLY like the idea of making the research more fun.
I love this texture pack, I'm glad there is good progress with it, but maybe you could do the Divine RPG mod? No offense if you don't, there are ALOT of items and blocks and things (You dont need to do the mobs if you dont want to)

That's just my opinion on the subject
