Skill Design
This notorious Combat skill makes a return in Diablo 3, having the same basic functions as it did in Diablo 2. However, basic functions doesn't mean identical, since this weapon does 200% weapon damage at rank 1, making at least one point into this skill worth it. It seems to retain its usefulness into the late game, since 200% weapon damage at a 400 damage weapon will end up doing 800 damage (assumed).
Bash is a wonderful skill all in all, having it early on will help the player lots, and having it during the later stages will also help. Spamming bash has become difficult, due to the Fury cost and cooldown (if there is one).
Since spamming Bash has become hindersome, it can be safely assumed that this skill will no longer cause "Bash-locks", where a player repeatedly spams Bash, causing the enemy to be unable to retaliate. However, the knockback effect of this skill might help you in other ways, for example, to stop the Cultist from becoming a big-ass demon, forcing him to restart the ritual/incantation (assumed).

Development
While Bash was first seen in Diablo 3 at WWI 2008, the skill has a big heritage from Diablo II's Bash. The skill used to be used to "bash-lock" enemies in PvP, and has changed since then.
The first versions, at WWI 2008 and BlizzCon 2008 didn't use knockback at all, it only made the barbarian dash forward, and hit with full weapon damage. The knockback was added for BlizzCon 2009, but the cost and possible cooldown will hopefully stop it from being overpowered.
