Killing Malthael on Torment 1 after hitting level 70 is optimal because you get a guaranteed 'first boss kill' level 70 legendary, and because set items can only drop on Torment now.
It's a very chaotic fight, but once you figure out the mechanics it's actually fairly easy. The first time I killed him on T1 I used all 60 gear except for the weapon, which was a 70 rare I found.
I explain some finer points of the fight in the video, but as long as you use Energy Armor/Force Armor to avoid being 1-shot and stack some passive regen, it's a cakewalk. Enjoy!
