I'm thinking of creating a Barbarian for PvP... but I was wondering, are they going to be the same as warriors were? Will they be the tanks that chase down opponents and batter them to a bloody pulp, or will other classes have that role?
I know it's early, and I know there is a ton of customization that could turn any character into a pseudo tank for pvp, but I was wondering if maybe the Barbarian was designed to be this.
Actually, now that I think about it... the Monk is all fists and fist weapons...
Can someone point me in the right direction for class roles?
the role of every class is damage in diablo. but im sure you could come up with some crazy tank/damage mitigation set up and try it. thats the beauty of diablo.

Well that's what I did in wow (I was a gladiator prot warrior) and I'd like to duplicate that success in Diablo III's pvp system. People underestimate the power of control in a game. If you can force someone else to play a certain way then odds are you've already won.
I'd say Barbarian are probably your best bet if you want to get as meaty and tanky as possible (also they have a similar rage system as WoW's warr :)). Even though other classes such as the monk will also have good defense I think that'll rely more on utility skills rather than just tanking raw damage. Logically the barb would be the class with the most potential to get tanky. It will probably be far from WoW's tank style though, and I could be wrong, but that's what I'd say.
