The Witch Doctor sends a locust swarm to literally devour the flesh of his enemies.
Skill Design
A really nice skill against packs of monsters, working like a disease that affects one monster and then the rest of the group. It can spread quite fast, so casting this spell just once is enough, and by the time it is done, you would have used a few other skills. Enemies who are killed by Locust Swarm leave behind a skeleton, a most pleasant visual effect.

Skill Rune Effects
Rank 2 Mana Regen Rune (don't remember the color, indigo maybe) Your Locust Swarm regenerates 50% of the damage it deals as mana to you (This effectively made the WD have near infinite mana)
Rank 2 Multi-target Rune (don't remember the color either) Your Locust Swarm now jumps to two targets upon creature death (more or less useless with the amount of AoE in the spell itself)
- None known.
Development
Locust Swarm was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was moved and iterated, judging from the latest demo. The old Locust Swarm was in the Plague Skill Tree (which itself, was renamed to Zombie Skill Tree), and now doesn't affect Zombie Dogs in any way.
