i believe blizzard would be most likely to make D3 more of an mmorpg style game such as guildwars because so many people like this style of play and they may have something in mind that can imrpove the mmorpg style to make it less like WoW and Guild Wars which may make D3 more unique and hopefully make the game itself better for everyone who plays it.
