Allright! I see it all now. ObrigadÃssimo! (I take it understand this one, no? B) )
So let me make a corollary:
At 400% mf, champions have around 2,9% chance to drop a unique. Since they have 2 picks, they'll drop at least 1 unique around 5,7% of the time.
Compare with Mephisto. At 400 mf, Meph has around 5% to drop a unique. On his 6 picks, this means around 26,5% chance to drop at least one unique.
So, the two "item farming" possibilities (kill Meph over and over, or look for champs/bosses across the map), seem to be quite similar in effectiveness. Neither is particularly "better" than the other: the time it takes to kill Meph is more or less the time needed to find and kill 7-8 champs/bosses.
