Speculation on the meaning of Sunset's cutie mark:

The core looks like the yin/yang symbol. I'm wondering if it means that it's her True Talent to bring out the best and worst in people. Think how easily she tore CHS's student community apart and how much she is now a force for unity and harmony there.

This would fit into the possibility that she's the Element of Friendship for the human world (where, because magic is so rare, the Elements of Magic and Friendship are decoupled). This would lead to an interesting possible scenario where the only way that the Unifying Element can be used is when Sunset and Sci-Twi are working together.

FWIW, the fact that Sunset had her own unique signiture Rainbow Power colour in Rainbow Rocks shows that the human world has seven Elements, one of which does not exist in Equestria. It will be interesting if, at the end of the fourth film, whether we see the Seven Elements unleashed together by the HuMane Seven or whether the seventh element will be retconned out.
