Those are all awesome skills. However, we must be realistic if we want GGG to implement any of them. I propose at least one debuff per skill:

-Immune to BS random one-shots from off screen. Your Energy Shield/Evasion is 0. (No need to debuff Armor. It's useless)
-Immune to BS on-death effects. All Elemental Resistances are 0.
-Immune to BS unbalanced or over-tuned rare affix mechanics and combinations on rare mobs. Your Movement Speed is 0.
-Immune to being stun-locked and perma-frozen since charms are useless.Your Attack/Cast Speed is 0.
-Immune to bad RNG. Items Cannot Have More Than 1 Affix.
-Immune to all the negative BS that rolls on maps. Waystone Drop is Fixed at 1%.
-Immune to BS XP death penalty. Death is Permanent.
-Immune to any BS negative effects of any mechanics that does not respect the players time. Your Energy Shield, Evasion, Armor, Life and Mana are all 1. Only Common Items Drop. Items Cannot be Upgraded or Traded.

That's funny, pretty creative. I was thinking of a new warcry that boosts the armor rating and adds PDR to yourself and party members. Curious what people think?

Valiant Cry
Warcry, Duration
Performs a defensive warcry, boosting the armour rating and providing physical damage reduction to you and nearby allies' for a duration.

I approve. Warcry is an all-time classic. Gotta love it.

I changed it slightly. Thought it would be better to boost armour for you and nearby allies while making you permanently immune to monster armour break. This would prevent enemy mobs from completely destroying your defense, preventing a tanky character melt in a few seconds.

Valiant Cry
Warcry, Duration
Performs a defensive warcry, greatly boosting the armour rating to you and nearby allies' for an extended duration and granting you immunity to armour break.

That's even better. In the spirit of GGG's mandatory debuff strategy, here is how they would implement your awesome idea:

Valiant Cry
Warcry, Duration
Performs a defensive warcry, greatly boosting the armour rating to you and nearby allies' for an extended duration and granting you immunity to armour break. You and your allies' Speed and Elemental Resistances are reduced by 50%.

Agreed with mandatory debuff, but would not reduce speed at all as that would make skill DoA. I like to debuff to Elemental Resistances, but should not be as extreme and should be roughly 50% of curses such as Hypothermia (Cursed enemies have -34% to Cold Resistance), so reduced to around 15% for all resistances which seems reasonable. Updated OP.

No debuffs. Previous version was perfect. Don't let GGG break our spirit. Let's move in the other direction:

Valiant Cry
Warcry, Duration
Performs a defensive warcry, greatly boosting the armour rating to you and nearby allies' for an extended duration and granting you immunity to armour break. You and your allies' attack speed is increased by 5%.

Just give it a longer cooldown because it's too powerful to spam. And maybe some negative effect for a couple of seconds after it's over, like a 15% elemental resistance reduction because the party is exhausted after going hard.

Sounds good, here you go and added cooldown and exhausted at end...

Valiant Cry
Warcry, Duration, Cooldown
Performs a defensive warcry, boosting the armour rating to you and nearby allies' for a duration and granting you immunity to armour break. You and your allies' attack speed is increased by 5%. When duration expires, you and your allies' elemental resistances are reduced by 15% for X seconds.
