Yeah, I assume that is where the inspiration comes from. Most people probably won't remember this but thy had originally planned on the to have a fetish travel around with him on his back. They decided against it because they said it looked to awkward. Too bad, that would have been awesome.
Yeah that'd sound kinda like the ogre alchemist in warcraft 3...
Imagine if they had pursued the fetish on the back... think about all the inuendos and puns that would have ensued.
The lore of the Wizard class is that she is supposed to be above elemental magic. Granted, she has "storm" which is lightning and cold but the other skills are arcane and conjuring. Fire is given to the because fire itself is very primal. I think it matches him well. They also had to give it to someone, it's too classic to leave out.
If you want to see what skills the wd has, check out the wiki. I personally updated all of his skills based on the blizzcon 09 demo. He has some pretty cool fire abilities. My favorite is a ring of fetish that breath fire.
Don't forgot the little Fetish witch doctors spitting fire at you in Kurast too!!!
The wizard doesnt have any fire spells? I never really looked at the skillstrees(even tho there are not trees anymore u know what I mean lol). If not, your right, the wiz should have a fire spec.
I personally think the wizard shouldn't even have the ice/lightning skills.... i think they shoulda made the class entirely non elemental. ( and maybe brought the sorceress back in the xpac as an elementalist)
We have to remember that the wizard is not the sorceress... they are supposed to be 2 seperate classes. Realistically, the sorc should called "elementalist", as normally when you think sorceress you think of the bitch turning people into sheeps and pigs (at least in terms of mythology).

Nah thats a witch... i'm talking wizard/sorceress like the one in Jason and the Argonauts, or Merlin, etc

I personally think you are FAR FAR FAR too much of a WoW players and trying to convert the witch doctor to some dbagish shaman + voodoo class.
