You will get a legendary drop on any difficulty the first time you defeat Malthael. I would recommend being 70 when you do it, otherwise, the legendary isn't going to be something you hold on to for a good while. Unless you're skipping content, you should hit 70 by the time you go through Act 5 anyway. It is fairly long and filled with mobs.
I'm already at level 20 on my Crusader and I'm finally at the last dungeon in Act I! I didn't think much of it until I swapped over to my Wizard and saw that he's only level 17 in Act II. My Crusader gets those new Pools of Reflection (25% bonus experience for a certain amount of exp) and gets an experience bonus for playing on Hard difficulty, which probably helps. I get the feeling that I'll definitely be above the curve.
