If you make the loot system so broad that you're routinely getting stuff you can't use, or you have no clue where to farm for stuff you do want, then people resort to the lowest common denominator: AH or Chest/Goblins.
If chests/goblins were the best place to find Burizas people would be farming them too. Ultimately AH is the most efficient way to acquire anything even if you know the best farm spot. While helpful, I don't think having a map of which areas have slightly better chance of X is going to make these issues vanish.
This is moot though because 1.03 NV changes seems to be more or less pushing people towards full act clears. They don't want to encourage people to specialize in a particular boss.
My "brilliant" expansion idea to tackle the issue would be type-specific magic find. Like 100% MF on Crossbow rolls for example. This could help bring back the feel of finding specific gear without encouraging specific farm locations.
