All skills that do damage in D3 are gear dependent which is awesome.

I too will be going WD for my first class mainly for zombie bears!

Indeed, no longer can you depend on a flimsy Io Staff or Tomb Wand loaded with skill modifiers but with extremely crappy attack to own as a spellcaster class. I really hope WD gets good gear to make the most use out of his Physical dependent skills. 

Zombie bears seem to rule as well, though Sacrificing Zombie Dogs has the potential to do a shit ton of damage in an area just a la Corpse Explosion xD.

Sure, just wait until you get into Act 2 in Nightmare . He's mostly using the gear my character had, before getting the Undead Crown headpiece and Skin of the Vipermagi armor and that awesome runeword'ed weapon.

I'm always mixed up when it comes to Act 2 Mercs, which one is the Might merc? Defensive, offensive or combat?

It's the same as the Paladin skill trees. Might is an offensive aura, so it's Offensive merc. Defensive is Holy Freeze and Combat is Thorns (these are only for Nightmare Act II mercs, Normal and Hell ones have different auras).
