Yes, you can still craft the level 60 Hellfire Rings, and you can still do the uber events (not sure if the drop rates are the new Torment drop rates, up to 50% on T6; I'd think so).
Is the ring better? Who knows; you won't be able to get the 5 primary stats you could technically get until yesterday (CHD/CC/IAS/average damage in addition to your default main stat roll), and the IAS will be lower (6% tops), so in theory the old rings could roll higher. They could, but usually didn't, because there were so many crappy affixes like single resists and so on; all these got moved to secondary stats. And of course main stat rolls a bit higher. What does that mean? While potentially the "best possible Hellfire Ring" is worse now, you've got a way better chance of getting a decent one that doesn't straight go to salvage.
Yes, the new uber event on level 70 has new keys, new materials, a new fourth portal, and of course better stats on the final ring because it's level 70.
In general everything on level 70 has new mats. There is absolutely *nothing* that is worth stacking up now with regard to level 70 crafting or any events.
Also while I don't have a lot of runs under my belt. as of the last PTR patch The level 60 mats for keys and organs did seem to be about 25% at T1 which would be the same as the level 70 versions. I hope so I would love to actually have a hellfire ring in the live game.
I have mats for 8 rigs saved up. I transferred them to PTR last night to check if crafts would be better than on live. All 8 crafts on the PTR turned out better than the 20 I currently have on live. Of course, I never got a really great one on live.
So, I decided to save the mats for the patch to go live.

Damn, I'm so dumb.. why didn't I think of that
A good Hellfire Ring will probably work wonders with the new exp gains.
Im personally hoping that the game will feel relevant for not-hardcore people like me. Right now, I'm slowly grinding my paragon levels in act1 MP-6-7-8 (depending on how I feel like kiting). The thing though, is except for the fact that I could buy new gear off the auction house when price kept going down, I never actually upgraded my character in anyway. I never found a single upgrade at level 60, I crafted a few BOA items that I could easily replace on the AH with less than a million gold right now.
I am really hopeful that the new system will allow me to find upgrades, no matter how good they are, just so I can feel a progression.

Easier - If you have paragon 1-3 gear
Harder- if you have 5+ garagon gear
I have over 90 organs still saved up from my uber carry days, will spend those on 2.0.
