Lemekim posted this link in the Skill Videos thread, but I didn't want to pull a hijack over there.

Might as well start theorycrafting those builds! Here's my preliminary plan for the Witch Doctor.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wi...dXW!ZZacZc
This would give him 4 flaming Zombie dogs to act as meat shields and lots of variety in damage types. He'd be dishing out fire, poison, arcane, and physical damage. In addition, there's lots of healing to go around. Grasp of the dead spawns health orbs, Haunt and Spirit Barrage both leech life, and Big Bad Voodoo will heal the entire party when used.
For passives, I went with Pierce the Veil for more damage (at the cost of more mana), Zombie Handler to give more meat shields and increase the effect of burning when they're ganging up on one target, and Rush of Essence because a 200% mana return on spirit spells is crazy.
Feel free to post your own builds or comment on mine. I was a bit skeptical about the removal of skill trees at first, but the level of customization and the limit of 6 active skills has really grown on me.
Edit/Addition: Other builds I've messed around with...
Summoning Witchdoctor: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wi...XUV!ZYaaca
Demon Hunter (I really want to find a way to make Chain of Torment work): http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/de...Vac!ZZcaZZ
AoE Barbarian (proud of how everything flows on this one): http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/ba...UTa!YYZaYa
