There is no appropriate solution for this problem.
The whole stated impetus for Blizzard looking for player input on this is because players are complaining about having to swap gear to maximize MF. Well there's the rub. The people that are using/abusing this are the people that want to get all the benefits but none of the costs associated with gear speccing for MF. They want to have all of their best killing gear as well as all the best MF at the same time. Those are the people that are complaining about this and none of the appropriate solutions will satisfy them.
Any solution will, in effect, be a nerf to the people abusing (and complaining about) this. The fact that Blizzard is framing this whole issue as "We are listening to you, the players!" is ridiculous. Those are specifically the players you should not be listening to. They have listed a lot of good options for bettering MF on the blog post but it doesn't matter. Whatever they choose to do it's guaranteed that the same people will be complaining after the 'fix' that were complaining before it.
