Only two forms of customization exist from what I know currently implemented in the game, Runes and Equipment.
I thought that at first too. But think back to the D2 characters, ultimately they were basically pigeon-holed into one optimal setup and that was it. I had a Frozen Orb sorc, with Hydra and Fire Wall as secondary skills. That was it.

At least with this setup, you can constantly tryout hundreds or thousands of "new" builds without having to create a whole new character all over again.

And add in the equipment alternatives and you have tons of other options as well.

From what I can see, I think it will add to the replay value and not diminish it.
