They have actually changed and re-coded a lot of the UI on consoles. The way you pickup items, the way you scroll through those items. There's no way they would add all that coding on PC, and introduce an option to switch to this parallel UI, just to have it support gamepads. They would also have to add the roll mechanic to the current game code, to make the control "feel right".
so will the new dlc support gamepad?

Btw, it's not a "DLC", it's an "expansion". Diablo fans want to have something physical in their hands, and many even want a collector's edition.
