DotA stands for Defense of the Ancients, it means it's a moba (multi-user online battle arena) like game mode, similar to League of Legends if you want a reference
What's the difference between that and what they've shown thus far? Wider areas?

A larger arena area, and the goal of this type of game play is to destroy an objective that the other team is defending, while they attempt to do the same thing to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYc8CTtjnZA has a decent 5m overview of the game type
Well, since they've clearly lifted the NDA for beta, it's going to be next to impossible not to hear anything about it unless you disconnect your internet.
They actually have people live streaming beta play!

What I've heard is that a lot of the actual game client has been datamined, so things like the final boss encounter and ending might be out there. Gabe's Equation predicts spoilers.
Look, I never had a dream in my life, 'cause a dream is what you wanna do and still haven't pursued; I knew what I wanted and did it 'til it was done, so I've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one.

Damnit, dataminers. Now I have to choose whether I want to plug my ears and jettison from this thread forever, or give in to the temptation of rubbing my body down in glorious glorious leaks.
I think we can be pretty sure that the story isn't in the beta beyond act 1, there is no reason for it to be so hopefully the spoilers will be mostly harmless.
Still, Blizz should hurry up and 'officially' release some more info.

There are some big time post-act1 spoilers in there, so if you are the type who hates spoilers its definitely a "stay away at all costs" type thing.
It's not like everyone didn't hear about the cow level in D2 before they ended up there. You didn't just find out how to get there without looking it up or being told ahead of time.
Officially the unluckiest CCG player ever.

So it looks like a lot of uniques made it to D3 (unsurprisingly). The spoilery bit is presumably which:

I've seen less information for the wizard than any other class in the game so far. And the wizard is the only one I've TRIED looking up info on. Everyone is blowing their wads over all the other classes.

Some of these Wizard rune changes seem odd..
Wizard Rune Spoilers:
Obsidian Rune - Body Double
Increases the Life of your images to [{Script Formula 3}*100]% of your Life.
Golden Rune - Extension of Will
The duration of the images is increased to {Script Formula 2} seconds and increases the Life of your images to [{Script Formula 3}*100]% of your Life.
Why would you ever use the Obsidian Rune here? They use the same formula for Life increase but the Golden Rune also increases duration.

Oh the game must be shipping as it currently stands. I missed that news! ;-)
It's also possible that "Script Formula 3" includes rune color as one of the variables in calculating the output, such that obsidian would return a higher percentage in this case.

I saw that. :P
But I really hope it isn't, because then it'd be fucking with people on so many levels.

In order to be lifted, there would have to be one in the first place :P
So any and all info from the beta is just up for grabs right away?
Now I need this game.
Even more than I did before.
Correct.
