#12All I need Google+ to do is allow me customize by default stream to only include circles I want to see there. That's ALL.

I agree, Facebook friend lists have this and it can be very useful.

#15 Push use of Circles across all Google products; I want the
ability to share a Google Doc to all in my ‘Colleagues’
circle, share a Calendar Appointments to all in my
‘Friends’ circle or send a text message from my Android
handset to all in my ‘Family’ circle. Circle integration
throughout Google would be a killer feature.

#17They'll need to modify the +1 widget to be aware of your circles and allow you to determine who sees them before 6 can happen.

#18events? this seems like the most obvious thing missing from g+. have i missed it somewhere?
Yes. I know people who joined FB simply because that's where all of the events were being organised.

#19Somewhat related to point 7: Integrate Circles with Google Chat, and allow users to set different visibility per Circle.
As buggy as Facebook Chat is, this feature exponentially increases the value proposition for me. (You can leave certain Friend Lists offline, while having others online.)
It's 2011 and even companies like Skype still haven't implemented this, despite it being requested repeatedly by users.
You can't honestly expect users to have the same 'Available', 'Busy', or 'Invisible' status for a chat list that could contain hundreds of people ranging from friends and family to classmates, business contacts, acquaintances, etc.
When working on a project, I need to appear 'Available' to everybody else involved, while leaving other contact groups offline so as not to be contacted about trivial matters that don't require an immediate response.
Other people I've discussed this with have said things like not wishing to be 'Available' to work colleagues outside of work hours.
The list is endless, and any company that takes Instant Messaging seriously needs this. IM isn't going anywhere.

Regarding Circles + Chat: If you turn on chatting on Google+ it will ask you which Circles you want to be visible to. I'm not sure if this applies to all instances of Talk, and it looks like you can only say "I am visible to these Circles" (later configurable with the little dropdown next to the chat list in G+), but otherwise it seems to match what you're looking for.
