I was going to make a "Why would you want to do something so boring?" post, but I know. Different strokes for different people. If someone enjoys killing cows or Mephisto 10,000 times, who am I to judge? Still, two questions come to mind:
If you have this kind of equipment lying around, do you really need to go on MF'ing runs? Is there some particular piece of equipment for one of your characters that you want to find or trade for, or are you merely a collector?
Second, the 1.10 patch will come out eventually and bring with it ladder games. The ladder games will be in essense entirely new clean realms, and any items you find now will not be able to be imported to them. If you're getting items with which to equip your characters and don't plan on ever joining ladder games, then spending lots of time magic finding sounds reasonable. However, if you're more of a "collector" who collects items for items sake and the thrill of showing them off, I have to warn you that I suspect once ladder games come out, no one will care what kind of off-ladder items you have. Off ladder windforces will be a dime-a-dozen while people race to find the best items in ladder games.
If you want to spend lots of time magic finding, then I say, "To each his own." However, since I'm personally planning to play exclusively in ladder games once the patch comes out, I'm not bothering to do any magic finding. I'd rather just play my characters with the items they have and enjoy the game. Or, even better, I've been experimenting with the 1.10 beta patch so that I'll be ready for when 1.10 does come out. 1.10s is such a better game than 1.09. I highly recommend downloading it, even if all you can do is play single-player and TCP/IP games.

'Eth' Peasant Crown
Wizard Spike
Lidless Wall
Que Hagens
Frostburn...
Edit: I forgot to mention I don't need critique for Mf gear. That's why I didn't list it.
