I am excited and having trouble with picking which class to play when d3 comes out. all of them are very interesting to me except the barb. Although i will eventually make a tank barb, probably for HC.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
Theres also Threatening Shout: Shouts with great ferocity, reducing damage done by nearby enemies by a percentage for X seconds, along with a few 'singing' traits, not to mention rune possibilities. But last time we saw the Barb's skills there were only two shouts.
Especially solo, a shield will probably slow you down more than anything.
Dual wielding, two handing, and sword and shield will all probably be viable. A shield doesn't really slow you down when fighting non-uniques, at least if they work like they do in past Diablo games where they die in a couple hits. Who knows, in Inferno it may be the preferred to sword and shield because of the block chance and the fact that their is no potion spam anymore and health globes may drop less in Inferno or something.
Personally I'll probably be making a whirlwind barb that has weapon switch between Weapon/Shield and heavy damage, especially if I can get something that is equivalent to a Stormshield.
Barbarians can have full tanking builds, defense works as a fat %damage reduce, and lifeleech is also confirmed to exist. Not to mention the vast array of damage-mitigation, aoe control, life steal, health globe % drop rate and for gods sake... TAUNT!
Aaaand.. we don't even know all the skills and how runes will affect them, so.. everything is possible..
For all we know, we could have 6 skills that can mass heal the Barb with the right runes
