Leap Attack has not changed much from D2, and has been demonstrated repeatedly in the gameplay movies. The main difference with the D3 version of this skill is that minor damage is dealt to everything nearby when the Barbarian lands, rather than major damage to one particular monster.

Frenzy in Diablo 3 provides the same basic attack speed bonus from Frenzy in Diablo 2, but that's where the similarities end. Whilst the Diablo 2 Frenzy provided attack speed, movement speed, attack rating, damage and would speed up other skills, Frenzy in Diablo 3 is a passive, and provides a simple attack speed stackable buff.
