Lots of legendaries dropping for Aahz at least...none for me yet. But I'm still making a lot of gold and finding some good twink gear as well. So it's all good. I'm soo tempted to put my str hellfire ring on my baby DH's templar (she's level 24) just for lulz.
I agree that the ring is kind of a bonus. To me, it's more of a long-term investment thing. You get the bonus XP, which leads to more paragon levels, which leads to more magic find, which yields more shinies. I also like the idea of re-rolling the ring to try and improve it, although it might be nice if you could pick one more modifier than just the primary stat.
Ah, RNG is...whimsical. I had been running with a guildmate's barb earlier this week and seeing him get 4 legendaries in 2 days, to my zero. Then last night it flips and I get 2 on the same night. I gave the wand to my wizard and it was about a 2,500 DPS upgrade. It's half of a 2-item set, so I won a lower-tier source (550k) on the AH to complete it. Kind of fun, but it's not like I'm switching over to my wizard or anything.
Current hierarchy of my cadre, in terms of ability to handle higher monster power levels, is monk, witch doctor, demon hunter, [slight gap], wizard, [huge gap], and barb. It's possible my DH has surpassed the WD, but I would have to put in some play-time to test. I generally farm with the WD for the magic find; I will finally hit max in 6 paragon levels. I'm looking forward to that.
