I'm primarily an SP...though I have MPed @ times...and had fun in doing so.
I'm not a great D2 player....my highest level character was a sorceress in the 40, in NM Act 5....@ which point I got tired of her...
Having started out in Diablo the 1st...I'm used to the diffrent classes having access to the same spells...and I don't mind the overlap. I think the real problem is that you get stuck on one spell. My Lvl 47 Sorc. had Chain Lightning on the Left Mouse, Frozen Orb on the right mouse, and I'd re-cast my armor when it died. I'd rarely switch to blizzard for big enemies...and it quickly turned to point & hold...since DII doesn't force you to keep clicking.
I think that cross class skills are ok, but in moderation. I think the real problem, is that there isn't enough interaction BETWEEN skills, and that one can access skills fairly early on...and later levels are more an excersize in "pumping them up" rather than branching out.
