StarCraft II is more strategic. Dawn of War II is more tactical/action based. Personally I need to be playing both types of games to really satisfy my RTS itch. Right now I'm satisfying it with Sins of a Solar Empire (Strategic) and the original Dawn of War plus expansions (Tactical/action).  Dawn of War II will replace Dawn of War and StarCraft II will replace Sins.

Also, WC3 was the least balanced of their games out of the box, but they said that the reason this game is taking so long is they want it to be nearly perfectly balanced when released so that the competitives can jump right in.  The balance testing is extensive.
