I consider myself to be somewhat of a WAN guru at this point. I did have several remote sites hooking to the main site via Citrix for a long time. We just got used to the complaints, and the users got used to citrix. What I've done in the last 12 months though is I moved most of the sites off citrix by using a set of Riverbed Wan Optimizers, and just a little more bandwidth. Our remote sites couldn't be happier. Every situation is different, but I would bet you wouldn't need too much more bandwidth and a set of Riverbeds and you could pull them off TS all together.
If you want to stay in TS, the riverbeds will allow you to prioritize traffic so RDP can have top priority, and the remaining things will have more bandwidth due to compression, and magic. You can also use it to kill things like the wan users playing on things like youtube or streaming music which will kill your RDP users.
