Going through the dragons in the first Bestiary I noticed nothing stating certain dragons having access to Cleric spells as arcane spells to add to their spells known. Which I find quite silly, considering how dragons are known, and have always in D&D/d20 system, been envious of the great magic they have learned to harness and manipulate. Being able to use Cleric spells as arcane spells was a great representation of that.
What was the designers' reasons for taking that away? I feel as if the lethality and utilities of a true dragon have been taken away from them. Has anyone chosen to keep them around via keeping to 3.5 edition version?
I also noticed they gave them all extra dragon abilities, like the Bronze's vortex and wave mastery. I'd love to incorporate that into my games, but now they outshine the dragons from my 3.5 books like Monsters of Faerun, Draconomicon, and dragons in Dragon Magazine issues.

probably because of sorcerers. When 3E came out, the sorcerer/dragon/kobold connection was established, probably as a way of getting more dragons into dungeons and dragons (in 4E of course they went the extra step with a humanoid dragon race). It is also, I believe, when Draconic became a language, THE language for arcane spellcraft.
