First off, I am a gear-swapper. With that out of the way, in Act 3 Inferno, I used to see at least one rare off of the first 5 champ packs (at which point the guaranteed rare kicks in). Not only that, but frequently I would see two, and sometimes three in these first five packs. Since the patch, I have only gotten two rares off of the first pack and then none off of the next four. They were a level 57 and 52. Could be random, yes. Then my friend who uses the same technique with roughly the same MF sends me a message that he has gotten absolutely no rares off of his first five packs.
Now, when farming with 5 stacks I would usually see 2 rares, rarely 1, and sometimes 3. I've killed 6 packs @ 5 stacks now and I know this sample size is piss all, but bear with me. Out of the 7 packs, I got a 57 from one, a 62 from another, a 59, 60, and 61 from one, and the other three dropped no rares at all!
I don't know what to make of this, I really don't... This is seriously... wtf...
Well, the first part can easily be contributed to RNG.
Not getting guaranteed rares though, unless they forgot to tell us something, is a bug and needs to be reported/fixed ASAP. If you're 100% sure it's not working correctly, tell someone at Blizzard. Open a ticket. Check out the official forums to see if anyone else is experiencing the same.
I've had a pretty good morning with drops, I've seen 7 ilvl 63 items in about 2 hours of farming act 1 inferno. I think it's all RNG dude, nothing to worry about.
I've had the occasional no-rare 5-stack kill prior to 1.03b... not sure why. A few of them were definitely packs that appeared in front of me (e.g. skeletons popping out of the ground), so I'm wondering if those are bugged.
The one repeatable one for no loot are the exploding guys- if you have a pack and the minions kill the boss, or a cascade from champs you won't ever get loot. That's at least in act3, haven't had the same happen in act1 yet. Also seems to mostly happen with illusionists.
I had a run 2 days ago where almost every champ pack gave me a rare (BEFORE I had 5 NV) and almost immediately the following run I had no rares until I had 5 NV. RNG /: But That run was nice..13 rares in 30 mins all above ilvl 58 (jewellery can still roll really good stats from 55+ onwards) and about 3-4 i63.
