Blizzard likely continued down that same path with Diablo 3 where Vit was the major surviability stat. Blizzard, likely, wasn't looking to reinvent the wheel when it came to Diablo 3 with respect to how the stats function.

A bit off topic, but I wouldn't consider Vitality the major survival stat in the original Diablo. It was probably the weakest overall stat for a variety of reasons. It did not raise life very much compared to +life items. A little bit of dexterity for a shield wearer could provide a huge blocking advantage. Armor and resistance often provided bigger returns in terms of gear choices than trying for a massive globe of life. Spell casters were bound to use mana shield anyway making magic a better survival stat than vitality. Basically you need enough life or mana to survive three hits, but beyond that you needed to be focused on things that would avoid getting hit or at least avoid getting stunned. Or you could use offense to limit your exposure to enemies, but I guess that is beyond the scope of what you mean by survival stat.
