Well, seems like most people want the original experience, bugs and all. On one hand they are worried that Blizzard will try to improve the experience too much and diverge from the original, on other hand they got used to most bugs/features and consider it part of the original game's soul.

Personally, I wouldn't mind having things like unlimited stash and unlimited respecs, which most things add (in singleplayer) by mods anyway.

IIRC the Fend/Strafe bug is only a visual bug, and you can spam click to restart the actual attack. This may not be true for the vanilla game; it's what I remember from Eastern Sun.

Don't forget the paladin's charge! Hit it just right and you barely move.
