I actually don't have a problem with dump stats where the number of attributes is 6 or more, that's actually one of the benefits of the method. Now a Wizard will fuel spells with his Hit Points/Constitution and not with his ST, so they won't look like Conan. Warriors won't need a high Intelligence to know lots of combat Talents because they can buy them with Knowledge, etc. I don't see a problem with that.
