Skill Design
This sounds like it could be a powerful AoE skill, but nothing is yet known about the sort of radius or damage it inflicts. The Witch Doctor is not blessed with as many big damage skills as the Wizard, and has few skills that can strike multiple targets at once for heavy damage. If this one can, it could be a mainstay of many high level Witch Doctor builds.

Development
Spirit Barrage was first seen in the BlizzCon 2009 demo as a Tier IV skill on the Spirit Skill Tree, but was not yet implemented. It was also listed in the BlizzCon 2010 demo, though it's yet to be seen in action.
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Spirit Barrage became a level 21 skill.
