I dont know why people get so worked up on cooldowns. Cooldowns is not a WOW System, its a game system used by many other games too, and an alternative way to balance the game itself. It is usually better to balance the game with more factors than just configuring the characters resources, and skill dmg output. Obviously some skills are going to be better than others, that's why there are going to be tiers in the game.

Looking at the Barb tier 7 skills for example, these skill look like they should be placed on a cooldown or at least take up 80% of the characters resources. If I had to choose, I rather pick a cooldown so I can use my resources for my other skills. In sum, a more engaging fight with a larger variety of skills used in a battle.

Tentative Tier 7 Barb Skill:

Call of the Ancients—The only summoning skill of the Barbarian, this one allows him to summon the Ancients from Diablo II, who will briefly assist in battle.
* Description: Summons three ancient Barbarians; Talic, Korlic and Madawc, who inflict X% weapon damage. Lasts X seconds.

Earthquake—This stomp causes massive damage to all nearby enemies.
* Description: Shakes the earth violently, causing massive damage to all nearby enemies.

Wrath of the Berserker—This shout grants higher stats and enables the Barbarian to partially break monster immunities.
* Description: Enter a heightened sense of fury, raising several stats (Critical Hit, Attack Speed, Dodge Chance, Movement Speed) for X seconds. Monsters with damage immunities will take X% less damage from the Barbarian’s attacks rather than being immune.

AWESOME! They officially posted it one minute ago about showing us character gear sets for every Tues. and Thurs. :)Here's a look at the first set of gear ever shown!. What are your thoughts about the gear?

No one is going to be making 19,000+ gems to get a LvL 14 gem because we all are going to TRADE. It's going to be a lot easier to attain in the game because everybody will have gems and trade them away. However I'm guessing a LvL 14 Gem will be worth as much or maybe more than an end game rare item.
