That runeupgrade is very nice. I like the shael rune a lot (I tend to start new characters quite often, so I have just one Hell character in 2 years playing,) form to low level ones at least.
That increased attack speed is for a barb very handy, with a few of these it is possible to play comfortably with a normally slow attack speed axe or something.. Some runes give just some extra fire damage or so, in that case a perfect ruby is just as well. But like shael there are runes that give you these "special" mods (is that the right word?)
And about that three gems and a magic sword recipe, is that also working with other blue items now?.
Anyway, jewels ver often are not good. You want the ones with 2 or more mods on them, because like 5 to extra damage is a waste of a socket.
When I have a nice (but not super) weapon with 3 or more sockets I usually put some perfect gems in them for elemental damage, also because these perfect gems are not ver rare.
And most important, if you have a good, rune, gem or whatever, don't waste it on the first sockted item you see, be sure you will use the item for some time otherwise you have thrown away a nice rune/gem.
Aah , and find all the cube recipe for the version you are playing, crafting and cubing are very nice ways of doing something worthwhile with your runes/gems.jewels.
Sorry about the layout of my reply but I hope it helps you a bit.
