Eh, I dunno. I don't think that the Lord of Hatred will get to rest much once players on the ladder are able to do him. Remember, just because MF doesn't work on bosses doesn't mean bosses will be dropping at the level of normal monsters; they'll still drop better, just not nearly as good as in 1.10.
The deciding factor will really be how much "subsequent" boss drops are nerfed, as Meph and Baal will be a challenge (*gasp*) and will not be item supermarkets any longer.
I do agree that the whole of Act 5 will be much more appealing, especially when characters are relatively weak. I doubt act4 will be "run" much, as the Stygian families and the Death Knights will be unpleasantly difficult compared to most stuff in Act 5. Probably.
/can't wait for the patch.
