Witch Doctors are remarkably squishy once an enemy gets to them, and have much harder times generating good damage. However, they have a LOT more tricks up their sleeves (Mass Confusion is just SO MUCH WIN, as are Hex and BBV). I'd say to go WD if you are grouped up a lot, as they are much better at supporting allies and debuffing enemies with their skills.
