Rune-cubing is only good to a certain point, where the runes are just too good/rare to cube. I mean seriously, who's gonna cube 2 Ums for a Mal, when Ums are gonna be very popular for upgrading Excep -> Elite rare weapons, Cresent Moon, and the various runewords that need Ums (there are a lot of them). I'd rather keep the Ums or trade them than cube for a Mal, and that's just the start of the chain to cubing to the very high runes like Ber, Cham, etc.
The nice thing with runes (on the Ladder, anyway) is that with the complete set of Rune upgrade recipes, it will be less a matter of luck and more a matter of persistence. It will take a while, but at least you will be able to make daily progress toward high-level runes.
