I doubt they'll implement skill profiles. They're really pushing towards not changing skills around too much. The way they're implementing Nephalem Valor to drop whenever you change a skill, rune, or passive really demonstrates how committed they are to wanting people to have one skill build at high level. A feature that makes skill / passive / runs switching easier is completely counter to this, so I'm doubting they'll implement that kind of thing anytime soon.
However, even with all that, I like that you *can* change things around on-the-fly if you want. For example, for the end boss of Act IV, I replaced my AoE stuff with defensive and/or single-target stuff. It's one of the best features of D3, imo, but, otoh, I'm happy with six skills.
As far as a skill-switcher, I'm not really sure it's needed. It's only six skills, nine if you change passives, too, so it's not like remembering a whole D2 or WoW talent tree.
