Using only vanilla Diablo 2 is an extremely unfair comparison, considering that many of the crippling things towards melee were bugs like (MSLEB and the tons of jab/zeal bugs) and not part of the designs. The solution there was simply fix it! ( And it was done in the later patches/expansions).
On the other hand, stuff like iron madien in the CS was indeed trash design.
Yes, it should have been done right the first time around. But Blizzard as we all know is about small steps and subtle changes in patches. The best example is Starcraft, which was unplayable competitively, but everyone praises it for the Brood War expansion. And yes, Diablo 2 before the expansion had its terrible issues, but I always judge a product by the effectively final version (in terms of balance)
As for D3, potions need to suck less. Maybe people would funnel some gold towards them, and give them something to use their gold for besides gambling at the craftsman and auctioning.

With great power comes the great need to blame other people.
