I still think the name can't be used again without it being confused with Vampires in d2.
Besides that summoning overlaps the WD summoning, yes d2 had a necro AND druid but druid only came after the expansion.
Blood tree could be fun but if not made carefully it may end up just resembling skills + a life leech item.
Curses will be handled by the Witch Doctor's Voodoo and Spirit Skill trees. Mass Confusion and Horrify are already there.

It says "undead" but it says they're spawned from hell, so that's a demon to me.
They're demons, and I highly doubt we'll see a demon class or even a non-human one.
