Crushing players in arenas gets old FAST. What we need are TEAM ORIENTED OBJECTIVE BASED PVP SCENARIOS. That's where the real shit is.
Arena will never work in this genre because it's very core is based on obtaining an imbalanced advantage (be it through team composition, gear, build).

To Jay Wilson and everyone else: Diablo 3 can be competitive without being an E-Sport.
hell yes - don't mistake my intentions. This game looks INCREDIBLE. I'm simply harping on the end game designs because I don't like the direction they're taking on certain aspects (specifically end game boss encounters and competition/PvP additions). I'm going to play the balls out of this game, but I do think there is room for improvement that would add infinite replayability and contribute to the enjoyment of all. I really don't see how that is antagonistic, but it seems that some people get their panties in a wad at the mere mention of competition modes (pvp being an obvious sub category, but also pve modes could be implemented) as an end-game feature.

Would love to see many different game modes. Survival mode or horde mode as OP called it would be really awesome. You fight to hold off wave after wave of monsters for as long as you can.
I'm all for competitive modes, structured arenas etc....but there's a certain sort of pleasure gained from the old FFA format, where players could free-roam the world, chasing each other around.
What about players being able to get together and create their own structure, without big daddy blizz holding our hand and showing us how? Like the ability to hostile each other in a private game/area if we wish, so we could have the good mannered melee duels like we used to?
I've dug through many of these PvP threads and I haven't seen anyone mention the obvious, why not both? Arenas and FFA areas? That way friends can get together and 1v1 with their own rules, much like we did back on East Ladder with Elite Zeal Duels.
I don't need Bliz to show me how to duel properly, I just need them to let me have the choice.
