A side note for those that think that there should be a level requirement for defeating the act bosses and such.  I disagree, that is too can be too arbitrary and is a poor kludge.  Just change the act boss quest system so that if a player has already completed that quest lands the killing blow, no one gets credit.  This would stop 'rushing' dead in its tracks.

No it wouldn't. A known side of Diablo's AI is his tendancy to hunt more powerful characters. Bearing that in mind, I'm left imagining a situation were a rusher simply slaps D down to a sliver then continues to draw fire while a 'rushee' tries for a ranged attack killing blow.

If one were to slap a quest invalidation function on a Slayer, Patriarch, Destroyer etc. merely doing damage (or cursing or having an aura radius pass over Diablo's location at any point), I'd be inclined to agree. Unfortunately such ideas also give rise to an issue of where to stick the threshold - I personally feel that similarly leveled characters should have the opportunity to lend assistance to friends. To that end I'd say allow people to backtrack for boss kills either one or two acts, but no more.
