Deciding if you want to go the action route or turn based really comes down to what kind of game you want to make. I will say that Diablo is pretty near the top of my all time great games list, and that (action) formula is a winner to me.
Sounds like the gameplay just needs a different AI for the enemies. Try looking into something that gets them to flock towards the player, even walking around obstacles/other bad guys.
Video looks good from what I can see, but I would say the character is moving too slowly. It looks like he is trudging through some thick mud. I'm guessing that FRAPS might have slowed your framerate down, but I'm talking about how the feet contact with the ground. For that animation, my guess would be the character needs to move at least 50% faster.
