Is there a way to view the documentation strings for a class? I'd like to be able to hit C-c C-d d on a class name and see the doc strings for the class and the slots. Is this a feature I've just missed?

The output from C-c C-d d is provided by the implementation's DESCRIBE, not Slime.
...so talk to your vendor. (Of course, Slime could implement DESCRIBE-FOR-EMACS like it does INSPECT-FOR-EMACS, but that is a different topic.)
http://random-state.net/tmp/describe-symbol.lisp
is a tentative patch to DESCRIBE for SBCL, making C-c C-d d nicer in Slime.
