Just toss it out here: I did the Key Warden in Act1 8 times without the key dropping once.
Inferno monster level 6
So I don't expect the drop chance of the key to be anywhere close to even 40%
Did you have full NV? I've heard it helps(or maybe just that MF helps) but take that with a grain of salt.

No, they are based on the new standard Act 3 which is far easier than 1.0.4(mobs have about half the health).

When do you not want to level up and get great items? That's why you play Diablo. A challenge is only meaningful if it helps you to accomplish that. Higher MP levels don't need to be way better for farming than lower ones, but they should at least have the same efficiency otherwise no one will ever play them.

That's exactly what's happening in 1.0.5 with the ilvl changes. Basically everything you find will be effectively ilvl63. And higher MF will make them more likely to roll 6 affixes and thus more likely to be usable.

No, MP0(aka the standard difficulty) is just straight up nerfed beyond that - Act 3 enemies have about half the health as before. I think the 25% damage reduction(counterbalanced by the defense skill nerfs) applies to MP2-3, with MP0 monsters possibly doing even less damage than that.

I think you're being very dramatic but I agree that legendary effects should scale with DPS.

Edit: Oh, it must mean potions.

This is why most people farm starting on the last quest. I think a benefit of not being able to switch between acts is that it puts a reasonable time limit on each run so you have stopping points and opportunities to respec without feeling like you're throwing away your NV stack.

The only proc coefficient nerfs were to Meteor and Spectral Blades. Blades got significantly buffed, see the original notes. A number of other spells were buffed as well.
Has it occurred to you that you might need to modify your build to be viable in higher MP levels? It's all about sustainability, but you don't have any way to heal yourself and you can't use Diamond Skin to block reflect damage in Archon form. You should probably stack more Life on Hit or Life Steal. Or just play at MP2 and be happy with that, I don't know why people find that idea so offensive.
