A huge part of Diablo for me is how my character looks come endgame, both in gear and in their skills. One can bet come endgame your character will preform greatly, but in your eyes, how does he/she look? Are your skills flashy and effective? Do you join random games just to have people marvel at your super rare uber legendary gear?
Gear
For me, my end game Barb is dark, and fiery. Due to life long battle, and two time defeater of Diablo he fears not using damned armor and weapons. His single Maul glows with ancient script, his armor black, smoldering from the cracks which glow red hot. A constant fog falls from him, gathering on the ground around him when he stands still.
Skills
My attacks are straight to the point, bashing, and crushing my way through any foe. If in a tight stop I use a flashy aoe skill, maybe a runed ground stomp, or seismic slam.

You're surely not the only person, but you are also surely part of a small minority. Blizzard, along with another companies with games featuring upgradeable gear spend a lot of time and effort making sure it looks good, and progresses appropriately as you upgrade through more powerful items. At Blizzcon when explaining and showing the gear progression, examples of animated armor, and beastly looking armor sets the crowd went wild.

So yeah basically I want MY DH to look slender but badass with silk flowing from her body, while maybe some arm blades come off her wrist guards. I want her dual Golden Xbows to be lit ablaze or crackling with electricity. As for skills I want my DH to be able to run and Gun and kite the shit out of monsters, so Vault is a necessary a skill along with Fan of Knives and Bola and Multi, since i know none of her other skills i will have to wait to flesh her out.
As for my Wiz I want him to be regal, and have royal jewels all over him I want him decked out in the finest gear that boasts badassness while being conservative. I want his skill set to include slow time meteor hydra tele chain lightning disintegrate and diamond skin. A combo of pure badassness that allows some up close and personal fighting while allowing long range as well.

Witch Doctor
Black and Yellow-Green dyed armor - preferably the entire "tentacle" set.
Skills would be runed in order to make everything be corrosive, poisonous, or acidic. I want my Witch Doctor to portray my username. I want him to be the mastermind behind the Acid Reign.

Very nice, that would be a sick setup right there. I can't wait to get started playing..
@Dehydrogenaza D2 is a very old game, with very bad graphics lol, but I see your point. All an all I'd pick an item with better stats than better looks, but I would really enjoy having both. This is the beauty of item progression in D3 as we've seen so far. As Jay said, as you get more powerful they want you to look and feel more powerful as well. As for dyes, I'm sure as he'll investing in them, even more so that confirmed over twitter that there are over dyes they didn't show at Blizzcon, hopfully higher level dyes will be more than just color changes like textures of aura effects.

do you think there will be any "funny-looking" gear?
Yes: every piece of witch-doctor gear.
This asks for a trollface.jpg... but this is actually a good discussion forum
Yeah... Well I'm not meaning to troll, just trying to keep the conversations light and interesting.
To reply on-topic, I think the diablo universe is one that's dead-serious. lol-esque easter-eggs and loot don't fit the feeling they're going for, imo. No rainbows, no unicorns, no leeroy jenkins, no holiday events... just blood, gore, murder, and victory.
