The only question that matters for RoS

All of these other topics regarding the AH, Paragon points and balance changes are all irrelevant. There's only one thing that everyone really needs to worry about to ensure the success for the Diablo 3 expansion.

Does the Crusader have a Tornado ability?????

Every successful class/spec usually involves a Tornado based skill. Shall we take a look?

Barbarian: Most obvious, they are called Whirlwind Barbs for a reason. The whole build does nothing but spawn tornadoes and spin violently.

Monk: Not many monks out there that don't run with Cyclone. Spawning hundreds of lethal tornadoes with your fists seems like a good idea.

Wizard: Majority of CM wizards use Wicked Wind as their primary crit generator to proc AP and CD via Critical Mass.

Witch Doctor: While Cloud of bats isn't strictly a Tornado, it's pretty darn close.

Demon Hunter: Doesn't have any skills that use tornadoes, widely considered as the most gimped class currently. Coincidence? I think not.

So that brings us back to my original question, do Crusaders have a Tornado skill? I haven't seen any leaked so far and I'm worried. Without one, I fear they are doomed to uselessness.

Interesting observation. I'll have to see how where this goes, but I would guess that some version of "a tornado of hammers" has already been discussed by developers. What would you call that rune?
