I must admit that I stopped playing D3 almost entirely. After spending some time bashing my head against Inferno Act 2 I just stopped having fun and gave up. The only successful builds were Vision Quest/Zombie Bear ones, and I really hate the mechanics of Vision Quest (Bears is fun though).
Personally I really love the proposed changes. Pet survivability appears to be going WAY up. Mana regen more than doubles. The mechanics of Vision Quest changes to "it will increase Mana regeneration by 30% for 5 seconds after dealing damage with Firebomb, Corpse Spiders, Poison Dart, or Plague of Toads". Good. Radical change. All of those attack skills are a lot of fun to use, so I like how I can keep Vision Quest going by simply spamming fun to use skills instead of babysitting cooldowns.
The other snippet I like is "we’re buffing a lot of other skills to make them as appealing as Splinters and Zombie Bears". Splinters and bears is fun, but so is throwing clay pots filled with angry spiders, chucking around bouncing fireballs, and dropping toads on heads.
