I didn't have the time to read the entire thread, so if anyone has already pointed this out, sorry!
I haven't made any serious attempts at making builds yet, but I'm really curious about Archon. I think it can prove useful on the lower difficulties when you are able to kill enemies fast enough to really take advantage of the duration bonus you get. However, I think that in Inferno mode you won't be able to kill monsters fast enough to maintain Archon form. Maybe it will prove useful to take out a larger group of weaker enemies, so that you can focus on the bigger boys of the group in privacy...
Guess it depends on the power of the Archon abilities, but Archon strikes me as one of the abilities that kicks ass when you get it, and then on higher difficulties kicks less ass!
I'll probably end up playing Wizard as my first, since that what I usually end up doing:p
Like many others here, I also didn't like the Witch doc at first. Thought he looked like a boring alteration of the necro from D2, but after looking at beta vids and checking out his skills I have come to realize that I probably judged the poor doctor a wee bit harshly at first.
Also really looking forward to try the barbarian. I'm still under the impression that he/she is quite similar to the D2 barb, so It'll be fun to see how an old favourite has evolved. Same goes for the wizard of course.
