Nice I just found Dead Man's Legacy in A3 off an Elite as well, perf IAS, but not crit (9.0):
This was my second Legendary of the new patch and I think the socket will push it north of 100M.

So I'm now up to 8 legendaries since 1.04
got a 2nd dead mans legacy(quiver), luckily it had perf ias(20%), and crit(10%) and sold it for 55m(47 after fees)
got a 660dps sever(sword) sold for 350k
got Immortal kings glove which I'm pissed about considering 4/6 of the set pieces would automatically get you 20m with the glove and weapon being the 2 that could roll worthless stats which mine did. Currently sitting unsold at 5m. This is my first set piece.
may as well keep a log:
1. stone gaunts(glove) - vendored
2. ivory tower(shield) - salvaged
3. don't remember(gloves I think) - salvaged
4. dead mans(quiver) - 10m
5. andy visage(helm) - 5m
6. dead mans(quiver) - 55m
7. sever(sword) - 350k
8. IK set (gloves) - unsold(5m)
Really gotta have at least 260% mf to find anything worthwhile, at least consistently. This I know from a lot of experience. I can wear my crappy mf gear and farm act 1 easy but would die in one hit from everything in act 3 with that gear on.

just saw that trail of cinder getting the nerf bat next patch.
I think since the quality of items is partly determined by mf gear, I am starting to buy mf items for my wizard now.
It isn't. Here's some statistical analysis that's been done on MF: http://www.diablofans.com/topic/57939-magic-find-and-its-efficiency-a-statistical-insight/
Basically there's no evidence to support that you get better gear as you get more MF. You just get more rares, which means you have more chances at getting something worthwhile. I've done some Act 1 runs with high MF, and trust me, having more MF doesn't mean you find better drops, you just end up finding more mediocre and crap drops. However, assuming that there's a .5% (made up number for illustration) chance of any rare being worth a decent amount on the AH, seeing more rares drop just means you'll end up with more that are worth selling in the long run.
Except that was only true up until a recent patch. Unless im mistaken, I am fairly certain they stated that mf now impacts quality of drops as well, that was a few patches ago. The post you linked to was fairly old. That is outdated info.... I could be wrong but I am fairly sure MF does in fact impact drop quality.
Okay... I think I'm done, or closer to it, this time. New patch just kind of "fixed" the initial shortcomings. Unfortunately, I already put in 200+ hours before it, so now it's just a matter of being bored doing the same thing over and over again. I made $70, so that's kinda cool... other than the $0.50/hour rate.
I think I'm done as well. Done several butcher/A1 runs since the patch. Pre-Patch I'd find 3-4 63 rares per run. Most of them trash obviously. Since the patch I've seen one i63. It was chest armor that was 45 phys resist/80 int / 95 vit. Seriously. That's a 63 now? I have seen 0 other rare 63s. I've seen 0 legendaries, which is fine since I've only done about a half dozen runs. But the rares I'm getting are trash now. How am I getting i52 rares in Inferno??? What's the point? So they gimped rare drops and now I don't even have anything to farm for.
Sold my IK Gloves (190 Str/65 All Resist/9% CC/Regen/% Reduce to melee) for 32M and immediately got another IK Gloves (200 Int/10% CC) thinking a wiz may want it, I put it up for 4m bid.
I got a imba shoulders (245 Str/61 All Resist/100 Vit/8% Life) trying to sell it at 55m, no luck yet though.
Currently at pLvl 36 and getting bored quickly.
Ya, my luck with armor drops has been pretty shitty. I did find that kick-ass amulet, which I threw on the AH for $30 now. The biggest change post-patch seems to be weapons. Rares with 800-1000 dps seem to be dime a dozen now to the point where I can't even sell them on the AH for 15k gold.
Funny thing is I just sold 3 auctions in the past 2 hours in the RMAH. One POS weapon for $1.25 (I get $.21 net, weee), gold for around $1.90/million, and a unique armor that I probably underpriced at only $15. It had 2 sockets, 150 int and 150 vit, 2200 damage against attacker, and 49 all resist. Woops. Oh well.
I picked up a 989 dps weapon with 318 str. +47% damage, +200min, +400 max (or something like that) for 1.2M. Pre Patch I was struggling to find something with over 900 for under 15M
If someone drops an item everyone can see it.
Another question:
Is there a way to set equipment/skill profiles? I remember in D2 you could have 2 sets of equipment profiles and could hit a key to change between the two.
Is that possible with D3?
So if an item comes out of a chest, is it fair game to everyone?
No, all loot is personal and only you can see it, until someone drops it. So either someone dropped it and it was picked up or you were just seeing things. When items are spewing out of a chest/boss they stack and it's possible you saw a rare on the screen then a bunch of other items dropped in the same place. There's a limit to how much you can see in a stack of loot so maybe it was on bottom.I knew that, however the rare looked like it came out of a chest along with a bunch of other items.

It's just for you. Maybe someone standing near the chest tossed it out when they opened the chest so it just looked like it had come from the chest.
Nope, there's no weapon switching or skill profiles. I think there was once a blue post where they said that they were considering allowing you to save builds to more easily swap between them, but changing skills resets your NV stack so it wouldn't be useful for combat.
