So this thread was inspired by Apoc's most resent status post. Although, I, as I am sure you have, have been comparing the skills since they first released them.
I was thinknig I would compile a list of the ideas we all come up with and sort of keeping them in this OP.
What we will do is take a skill from D3 (runed or unruned) and set it equal to a skill or a combination of skills from D2.
I think this would just be a really fun way to analyze the skills from D3 and look at the mechanics, and laugh at the rediculous combinations we come up with.
Just to get the ball rolling, I will do one from each class. If you feel you have a better comparison, just say so!

D3 classes/skills
D2 classes/skills
Witch Doctor:
Plague of Toads = Teeth (Nec) and/or Charged Bolt (Sorc)
Zombie Wall = Bone Wall (Nec) + Fire Wall (Sorc)
Wizard:
Arcane Orb = Frozen Orb (Sorc)
Teleport = Teleport (Sorc)
Hydra = Hydra (Sorc)
Blizzrad = Blizzard (Sorc)
Barbarian:
Whirlwind = Wirldwind (Barb)
War Cry = Shout (Barb)
Monk:
Way of the Hundred Fists = Zeal (Pally)
Demon Hunter:
Chakram = Blade Sentenial (Assa) + Blessed Hammer (Pally)
Monk Mantras = Pally Auras
It's a nice font, but that is a funny link.
And besides, this is a fun topic. See what I did there?
Blizzard->blizzard
Multishot->multishot
Hungering arrow->Guided arrow
Whirlwind->Whirlwind
War Cry->War Cry
Now that I look at most of the skill names most of them are from d2/median xl/warcraft
