On this topic, people are afraid that this change will lead to wizards and witchdoctors using high dps axes. I don't think this will be the case because spellcaster weapons still have the additional '+x% to class damage only' to negate that. Also if need be they will add extra affixes on spellcaster weapons to even it out, like casting speed.

Developers don't have infinite time and PvP is a whole 'nother system that needs to be tweaked and balanced on an entirely different principle than PvE. Would you prefer Blizzard delay the release of the game for another year or two? I certainly wouldn't.

It's already been stated that they have a system design in place for the separation of PvP and PvE abilities.

It's also been stated that there is a match making system in place, albeit invisible due to some misguided prejudice against competitive PvP.

Honestly, what else does the "PvP strike team" have to do? You're basically just pulling dates out of your ass. Furthermore, everything doesn't have to be perfectly balanced at release. Actually, it never is with any game. There should be continuous development after release, or at the very release some promise of support rather than a fanatical "over my dead body" (direct quote about allowing PvP to dictate design decisions in D3 from Jay Wilson) view against competitive PvP. What we have now simply isn't going to cut it for anyone who enjoys competitive PvP.
