And I believe you are making a faulty assumption. Even if aiming a ranged AoE spell would take longer, it wouldn't matter since you'd retain full movement control over your character whilst aiming, as opposed to the classic mousecursor method.
Also, how is dragging a cursor all over the screen quicker than dualstick shooter controls with full 360 degree aim at your fingertips instantly? Add a little aim assist to that and you got as much precision as you'll ever need. Oh - in case you say 'aim assist' is lame, Titan Quest sure uses aim-assist, likely Diablo itself does too.
Reform is never something sold easily, though often it is for the better. Dualstick analog gamepads do work with Diablo 3 and it will proove to be the superior control method offering full control over movement and aim uninterrupted. Constant full control feels superior - is superior. Just wait and see.
P.S. I've played quite a few Diablo-clones, just not Diablo 1/2.
1) I can move my mouse across my entire screen by moving my hand 2 inches. Unless your sensitivity is set so low that you have to move your arm like 3 feet to drag your cursor, mouse will always be faster.
2) You keep bringing up moving and aiming. That isn't what Diablo is about. You charge in and click, you don't run away. There is no active dodge button to use.
3) It is your opinion that they will be better controls. I wouldn't EVER use them even if they did put them in. It is your opinion that they will be superior. Right now I have to play with a gamepad because I have a broken hand. I hate it. So people just prefer KB&M.
