Where the hell did the power sets go? Dual Blade, Martial Arts, Telekinesis and Power Armor are gone? I just started playin again on a free acct and none of my favorite powers are there. What the hell happened to them?

World of Warcraft is the original creation of God. Real Life is in fact a WoW clone.

Power sets were changed to archetypes, which are restricted to certain powers per archetype.

Gold members can still have freeform powers, and I believe dual blade is among the skills only avaiilable in free form, although I could be wrong.

I believe Omali is correct, there is no archetype for dual swords, but it is a freeform powerset.

Here's a link to the archetypes that are available to Silver (free) members:

Nothing is ever truly free.

And for the record, that new Heavy Weapon set is a BEAST.  I like the freeform v. archetype thing they did.  Gives people a decent build but the free forms a one up.  Archtypes get their own PvP battle though.  But that's ok.  I only dabble with that game anyways.

Power sets are still there.  They just aren't part of the free trial.  The free trial only lets you play "archetype" characters, which are fixed, gimpy builds.  If you want access to everything, you still have to subscribe.

I think there are some dual blade abilities incorporated into the specialist archetype along with dual pistols.  You have to buy that one as a Silver Member though.
