Okay, this is three months after nobbie released his guide. So, I'm a little slow.
There doesn't seem to be any mention in the guide about using magic find items on your mercenary.
That is, if the mercenary makes the killing blow, the magic find calculation is the total of your character's magic find, PLUS any MF items on the merc. It's pretty easy to grab another 170% MF with a relatively low-level merc, using 3-socket helm and 4-socket armor with PTopazes.
I'm quite sure that this is still working in 1.10, I just did an informal test an the difference was noticeable.
