They removed nightmare.
Torment is the new name of the 2nd difficulty.
They also removed inferno.
With the addition of another act, they completely re-tooled the XP curve.
If you were to start at level 1, the experience would go like so; You start in normal mode, and play through the game. MP is still available to tweak how hard you want it to be. By the time you've beaten normal through act 5, you're ~ level 40. You start torment mode back in act 1, and play through the game one final time. When you beat torment, you should be level 70.
You no longer have to unlock all of hell mode by playing through the story. Hell mode is now what inferno mode was originally; A super hard mode, that you can still tweak with monster power.
What does this all solve?
You only play through the game twice to reach max level and get to farming.
When you're farming max level, you farm in hell mode with whatever MP you want.
Bam. 3 difficulties, you only have to play through 2, and you get a dial to tweak each one.
That's my guess =P
