So going back through all of the blizzcon vids there seems to be some underlying theme of summoning, and I am not even mentioning the WD skills.
Examples:
thousand pounder is summoned by cultist
cultist summon demon spawn if you don't kill them quick enough(form gameplay vid)
in the game play panel they discuss the adventure system and one of the examples they give is people summoning a unique monster
with diablo being confirmed and his stone being destroyed there is a very probable situation that diablo will be summoned from hell in his "true" from
now a lot of this could be because of the monsters shown so far summon and maybe there wont be as much of this later on in the game. I just don't remember this much summoning in D2 or D1. I am not saying its a bad thing, it just seems to be a trend that they are doing for D3.

It's hard to call it a trend when so far we've only seen about 5% of the game.
I understand we haven't seen much of the game and this is all pure speculation. It just seems that from only seeing 5% of the game there seems to be a lot of summoning already. Maybe it is just a trend for the first part of the game or maybe they have only mentioned the summon stuff because they have some awesome amazing new way of explaining where monsters come from. I just can't remember much talk of summoned monsters from D2 except maybe Baal's minions were summoned (sort of). They just seem to be throwing that word around a lot more this time. Once again, I am not saying it's a bad thing, just something I noticed.
And I hope that Diablo's demon body is really badass
I agree, if he is SUMMONED by whoever, I hope it is really epic. I even like the possibility of him being combined with Mephisto and Baal.

well it really wouldn't be a "body" if their actual "souls" are summoned from where ever they went when their physical forms were destroyed. It would be an actual monster from Hell.

I think summoning will be a big part of D3 they have the tools to make the game more loreish than with D2 and D1, and I think is great, I'll like to presence a lot of important summonings(like the 1000 pounder)

You may be right that there was less summoning in previous Diablo games but I don't see this as a bad thing. Generally speaking, summoning animations are awesome.

I am not saying it bad. I like it. It was just an observation I recently made. To me t only makes sense since we are in sanctuary and not in ther domain. Like I said earlier, how else did these monsters get here. It's just weird that never rally mentioned it before

Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could
I'm pretty sure that Blizz will make every kind of summoning distinct and special. But beside summoning we saw possession (the so called vessels), soul harvesting and Invocations (Witch Doctor's mongrels). So I'm pretty sure D3 reserves us a lot more than Summoning. Personally, I'm pretty sure that at some point in D3 demons won't have to be summoned into sanctuary but rather "drop" into it
Monsters in D1 and D2 were boring.. they just were there in the world already.. nothing nice like summoning happened so I think its nice we have this kind of stuff there now.
Examples:
thousand pounder is summoned by cultist
cultist summon demon spawn if you don't kill them quick enough(form gameplay vid)
in the game play panel they discuss the adventure system and one of the examples they give is people summoning a unique monster
