AFAIK this is inaccurate. His resource globe starts as empty as the Barbarian's, unless I'm really mis-remembering from the Beta. The difference is that his doesn't degenerate like the Barbarian's does.
Not knowing what Crushar might be looking for, I'd have to concur that both Monk and Barbarian would probably be best suited for minimal spamming. I should think it would be easier to hold down the mouse button rather than constantly clicking for those two classes, as (almost) everything you'll be targeting will be within melee range (rather than having to click all over the screen for ranged attacks). Again, though, I don't know his preference - just my thoughts based upon physical comfort.

I've not heard of any yet so I'm going to say think of them as a 2 handed dps warrior except with still having the sturdiness of a tank. I've known Crush to play a warrior, but I recall it being a tank.
Dual-wield Barbs were all you saw in Beta, although that was mostly because Scythes (1H Mighty Weapons) gave the most possible DPS in the Beta. That said, I'm sure you'll see plenty of variety in retail, but dual-wielding I think will be the most DPS oriented. Barbs can be designed as VERY tanky with their selection of active and passive skills, so think of them as taking some of the abilities of the Paladin and Barbarian of old and combining them.

Wizard: Mage/Warlock. I'd have said just the mage, but some of the meteor type spells remind me of the warlock. Plus there is the hydra option and such so some small warlock tendencies there. Not really a pet though so very strong mage comparison I would say.
Demon Hunter: Hunter without a pet. Obviously a demon hunter is stronger than that and has more abilities, but that is the general feel I get.
Pretty much, although the DH does get several pet options (Raven / Wolf / Spider / Bear / ???, as well as Sentry) - if you spec into that.

Send out locust swarms. It's all very Troll feeling. Combine that with the warlock's summoning stuff and it's not too far off the idea.
Yeah, couldn't agree more.
