I've played both betas and I came to the exact opposite conclusion (I played D1 and never tried WoW though).

I'm disappointed with my Diablo 3 beta experience. It lagged horribly on my new and very capable PC, so I had to play it on my Mac (where it ran very well). I was really hoping for another D1: a gruesome and brooding game that terrified and captivated me. Instead, I can't take D3 nearly as seriously because it feels cartoonish and bland (though that might be because I'm now much older than I was when I played D1).

By contrast, my swtor experience on a friend's computer was brief, but it felt majestic and interesting (I love voiced dialogue and any cheesy story ever). Again, this can be chalked up to our different backgrounds and personal experiences, but the bottom line is that for me personally, if you compare how I feel about the two games now to how I felt 6 months ago, my excitement has plummeted for D3 and jumped up quite a bit for swtor. I'll try D3 again once it's released because I still don't want to give up on it though. After how much I loved D1 it would be unreasonable to write off a new Diablo game simply because an early beta did not meet my high expectations.
