There are the usual kinds of crowd-controlling abilities in Diablo III: Stunning, rooting, snaring, charm, hex, fear etc.
It appears like some monsters are less affected by them than others. It seems, however, that even bosses can be, for example, frozen.
How exactly do CCs work? Do they have diminishing returns, like in WoW? Are all bosses equally CCable? Is CC efficiency or chance of successful CCing in any way dependant on any attribute (e.g. chance to fear enemies)?
The answer of this question will have some important implications for boss-fights in general, but especially for groups. If there are, for example, no diminishing returns on stuns, then four-player parties could easily specialize in stunning-equipment and skills to kill a boss without the boss hitting anyone even once.
Some monsters also have crowd-controlling abilities. What stats prevent me from being CCed (stunned, feared, snared, etc.) by enemies?

To partially answer your question, I know that only the strongest slowing effect applies if many slows are dealt to an enemy. If a longer lasting, weaker slow is applied at the same time, then when the stronger effect ends, the weaker will persist until it's duration is up.
Ex. two slows, one of 80% for 3 seconds, and another of 40% for 6 seconds are applied at the same time. The following will occur:
