I would agree that Wizard / Demon hunter is the best combo. A point that was brought up Would be that the team is lacking in defense. I would strongly disagree, with the skills that both bring to the table, Mobility and defense are the same. If the Wizard and DH can combo traps along with the Wizard Slow time (AoE time slowing bubble), they could become almost unkillable. Also the team would have an insane amount of burst, along with passives that help each other out (Main the Wizards Arcane Weakness which increases damage).
P.S. Sorry for the late entry ):

Witch Doctor as the partner to the Demon Hunter. The Demon hunter lacks hard crows control, which the Witch Doctor specialises in. Confusion and Horrify both dramatically change monster behaviour making those affected sitting ducks for a the range spam loving Demon Hunter. The Witch Doctor also appears to be a 'mid range' character, working best jsut behind where melee characters would like. What this means is that the Witch Doctor is essentially the buffer behind which the Demon Hunter can operate with little trouble. Witch Doctor pets can draw monster aggro - plus the class has useful soft control in slows and hexes. Overall the effect would be something like setting up a shooting gallery for the Demon Hunter, able to ply it's trade effectively and highly efficiently due to the way the Witch Doctor affects the area they are in. The Witch Doctors DoT and AoE spells are just icing on the cake, being a superb 'finisher' array of spells that allow the Demon Hunter to swap targets if needed should more pressing targets appear without having to worry about being mob rushed.

puckpuck: Interesting response, and thanks for entering! In your description you state the possible synergies in a DH/WD group against monsters. The question was really meant in a PvP sense, do you feel the same way about DH/WD in PvP?

Whoops misheard that on the podcast. ^^
And yeah the synergy is still there. We've seen that the Doctor's Confusion and Horrify are implemented in PvP so I think we can expect some great 'pick a target and focus on it till it's dead' style tactics from the pair. The Witch Doctors spammable diversions are great for tying up opposing teams, even with the new movement powers each class gets, mobility is less of a concern when you're facing DoT and AoE, and both classes have slow based powers as well and at any given point one of your opponents is having to worry about losing control of their character (however brief the timer is reduced to for PvE Confusion and Horrify). This in turn lets the Demon Hunter nova while the target is slowed or has lost control, and giving time for the Witch Doctor to set up the next trap. Given also that the Demon Hunter has 'pets' of her own in the form of static defenses and traps, the pair can be a pain by flooding the arena, making evasive maneuvers from the opposing team risky as well. Overall I think it will be a fairly unique playing team style and a lot of fun.
