There are a few basic things from WoW I would like to see ported, many people have mentioned an Auction House, but seeing other features, like a dressing room, inspection, and the ability to link items in chat would be fantastic for the trading economy.
If the auction house is to really work, however, gold needs to be worth more in the game than it was in D2. There need to be some sort of NPC money-sinks to make this possible. What I would like is to see vendors supplying, at high cost, "enchantments" that players can apply to their weapons. This would raise the value of gold, making an auction house possible (or just freeing up inventory space, even if the AH doesn't go in). Other sinks could be increasing the capacity of your stash or respecing.
With PvP, you have to be careful it doesn't turn into just a damage race. What really would be nice is a limited amount of control abilities, to offset the innate chaos. Not necessarily effects that incapacitate you, and nothing that causes you to lose control of your character for more than a second or two. Fast and chaotic are the keys, with a sprinkle of control. Even so, I'd think PvP would do better as a side game, though perhaps some gold could be wagered or won/lost on matches. I don't think gear should come from this, as Diablo has always been about dungeon crawling.
