"Change Element" Rune: This rune change the element of the skill to another one.
Fire <--turns into--> Frost
Lightning <--turns into--> Disease
Physical <--turns into--> Arcane

Skills like barbarian cry would be considered "physical" and would change to "arcane". For exemple threatening shout decrease physical damage dealed, with that rune it would looks like a arcane nova and would decrease magical damage dealed.
Teleport could change into Leap and Leap Attack would change into a teleport + attack skill lol.
That rune would change the own nature of the class thats why it should be considerable rare. Also it would naturally underused because you would use one slot that could improve your skills only to change the element to avoid some very resistent dude. For exemple, a arcane wiz could change one of his skills into physical damage to avoid arcane resist monsters.

"Shield" Rune: That rune decrease the effect of your spells to give you a special shield effect.
Ex: Fireskull would deliver much lower damage however it gives you a fire shield that increase armor and damage attackers with fire. Hydra would summon a one headed hydra, but the two other heads stays with you, hitting enemies at distance. Barbarian melee attacks would increase his survival power in different ways (+armor, damage absorbtion, resistances, evasion, hp regen).
Shield Skills would become Heavy Shield skills, that would have its effect greatly amplified, but have a draw back like decrease movement speed or consume alot of mana/rage.

Erm, no, not really. I just meant to tell you, in a sarcastic kind of way, that that's a lot to expect from one Blizzcast, albeit a long one. Personally, I don't want nearly everything given away before the game's released or I won't have to look forward to learning things I didn't know while playing it. In particular, I think it would be best if they kept the storyline as unknown as possible until it's released.
