Rares are about 100 times rarer than magic items, you can't shop for them, they have to compete with burizas and WFs, give them magic affixes already!
Did you know Craftsmanship actually has twice as much chance to spawn than Evisceration? Small wonder rares suck.
That, and all the 1% chance to cast level 1 firebolt when struck type affixes. If anything, all they do is set off LEB bolts. Or the charges of level 1 inner sight. [repair cost: 703,244]
As for crafts... I say, keep them for specific purposes. Caster belts, because rare belts cannot get any good caster mods. (ignoring Gloomstrap and Tal Rasha's, of course). But for mainstream items (damage weapons, leech weapons) they should not be able to compete with rares (but be better than magicals) because it doesn't involve 'going out and killing for them', just waiting for some rune to drop and sitting in town and cubing. It's like make-your-own-semi-random-unique, a nice way to get some specific items, but it shouldn't be the best for everything.

Nothing is impossible if you believe in it enough.
