I think a few of you are on the right track, but maybe the class needs elements of a lot of these idea. Call it a blood mage, but vit as a resource sounds clunky. Have it be an Int character with a mix of ranged and melee capabilities kinda like the crusader, only where the crusader is all righteousness the blood mage takes a fight fire with fire approach and is as bad as he has got to be. Blood is his resource, some of his own, but mostly the blood of his foes. the possibilities are endless. there could be demon skin/limb grafts giving him crazy powers or forms. maybe reanimated demon corpse mech suit/ mount that he fights from. He could meld into darkness for a stealth or rogue like approach to things. Maybe he can jump into demons and other beasties and take control of them. I think there are a lot of fun possible options for a class like that and it could bring some of that darkness, us long time diablo fans love, back to the game.
Polrayne I personally think the crafting idea is pretty solid. the way you laid it out wouldn't be that different from systems already in the game like what they have for the hellfire ring. Your idea aside I applaud the the logical and well-reasoned way you went about your counter argument when the trolls started yelling. It's refreshing to see a reasonable human being post something for a change.
