If the new tax law is supposed to save us money, then it seems to totally wipe out the purpose if I just have to make massive estimated tax payments to offset what is no longer being taken out of my paycheck?

Yes, if you are a "higher income taxpayer." If your adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2017 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your filing status for 2018 is married filing separately), you would need to pay in at least 110% of your 2017 tax under the General Rule to avoid an underpayment penalty. This rule doesn’t apply to farmers or fishermen.
It's actually not a change from last year, because the 2017 1040-ES instructions had the same information for higher income taxpayers. Other taxpayers only need to pay in 100% of last year's tax to avoid a penalty.
