I think by taking more of a "We arn't going to make D3 pvp an E-sport or care about balancing it etc..." approach is Blizzard just saying don't get mad about how unbalanced certain aspect of pvp may be. But that doesn't mean that they are just completely neglecting D3's pvp, and haven't tried to balance it.
My prediction is that pvp at first will feel pretty balanced and casual when people first start getting into it, but then the more you play it the more you'll notice some slight imbalances. However if there is a really obvious imbalance (say Barbs just wreck every other class no problem) they can always tweak their power in a patch.
I will say though that I am a huge fan of pvp, and while I think D3's more fast-paced, just jump in and play a bunch of rounds pvp philosophy will be fun and still pretty good, I do wish pvp was getting more focus and more of an E-sport treatment. But then again I used to pvp all the time in D2 and already from what I've seen D3's pvp is waaaayyy better than D2's.
