I just thought about this but this could really make the game 10 times better, more dynamic and more active and faster paced...if well balanced and strong cooldown used this can be amazing.
I first thought of the sorceress in D2 and the skill energy shield (its a type of shield).
My idea is to make use of the mouse wheel (clicking the mouse wheel i mean). Imagine each class had its own type of forcefield/ shield kind of thing, you activate it by clicking the middle mouse button. what can be done is add a 3rd orb - make it very small. but it runs out extremely fast, you hold the middle mouse button to activate it....for mage class they can hold their hand up and a force field comes and blocks attacks...
Your first thought is this would be extremely over used and unbalanced...but no, it would load very slow and last very short(or to make better change the current environments to make this more useful and less abused) it could be a life saver.. Implemented correctly could add much more strategy to the game..a lot more fun, thinking when would be a good time to use it..An elite boss is about to use their worst skill on you, you can either block it completely or reduce the damage....and maybe a chance that the shield leaves you vulnerable if it breaks (lol super smash bros.)..but i truly believe this would make this game 10X better. Its a lot of work if they do it (maybe they have).
Remember is D2 & lod, how in PVP you just run around, maybe you could shield against that one sword strike or that ranged blast, a chance that it might defend you and save your life, maybe it will backfire and break your shield and leave you unable to cast a spell temporarily.
Note: I am saying this not using Mana, I hated that in D2 and no need to change their mana system. Obviously this needs to be though a lot more thoroughly but its an excellent idea..A barbarian can maybe use his sword or axe infront of him as a shield (or if he has a shield)..he can defend himself...
Please post if you think its good idea...I obviously didn't cover all points on it - SO DONT #@%$! IF I DIDN'T SAY ONE SMALL DETAIL.
I didnt re-read so probably full of mistakes..

Sorry but I just don't want this much strategy in a hacknslash. Either you'd have to learn to use it to fight things, or it would never get used because you didn't need it to fight things.
What would you want for a barbarians defence ability? Maybe just holding his arms up in a crossed manner to block attacks or something?
