I find an upgrade about once every 2-3 days playing maybe 4 hours a night. By upgrade I often mean a sidegrade. Typically it's something like "increases my damage, but decreases my defense a bit, but overall better" or "Great boots, but no movement speed" or "good for my MF set, but not better than my non-MF options".
However, I don't use the AH any more. I've killed Inferno Diablo, so I don't need much except to play the game for playing's sake. If I were to use the AH, it would quickly turn out that upgrades are better earned by farming gold or spending money than farming in game, and once I got to that point with my gear there's little to no chance I'd ever find a real upgrade. So instead, I play in my motley gear which happens to be just good enough for right now and still actually find the occasional upgrade.
The junk that I get while playing gets sharded, and the money that I earn goes to crafting the 4-5 affix gear that I have, which typically turns up more crap, but keeps me from spending my money on AH gear. If ever I start playing the AH again though, I expect I'll lose any opportunities to find any new upgrades. I haven't found anything I'd consider godly, but since I'm playing in shitty gear compared to what's available on the AH, when I find slightly-less-shitty gear, it is an upgrade.
