Blizzard DOTA screenshots introduce Thrall, Arthas and Diablo 3's Witch Doctor

The Blizzard DOTA Panel that took place earlier today at Blizzcon 2011 dropped a ton of interesting info on the features that will set the free StarCraft 2 mod apart from competitors like League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth and Dota 2.
