As someone who is still going better rolls on all my gear, I skip trials completely (Port out of trial and raise its level by clearing low level rifts for good set/legendary drops). some of the changes would mess up my method completely and slow my gearing process.
This tends to take quite a bit more time, but its far more fun and gives a good amount of items/gems/mats. not everyone plays this game for maxing GR tier.
they should just add an option to "Clone" a rift key, or even pay a trial stone to reset/randomize a GR, so you don't have to farm a bunch of trials to get a good rift.

although i cant disprove that it is a bug. my anecdotal evidence of it being RNG is that my friend and i both completed our gr70 at about the same Paragon (250's) and are both 650+ i have received 2 primal, and he 0.

Although I do agree that time spent in this game should be a huge factor. I don't think that it should be as based on entering a rift and seeing, in about 10 seconds, that its not going to work and leaving.
Blizzard does know that the mobs and tile set is a HUGE factor in GR pushing, they have tried to fix it. but still there are some mobs that have to low of time impact or are just way to tough to kill.
the request i would make isn't to lessen the importance of time spent, but to move it from leaving and joining, to trying to push higher till its gear/skill and not mapset that stop you.

not really sure if the +1 disc is worth going for 12

for M6 DH, a large part of you damage is coming from the Companion/preparation combo. CDR helps get this to happen more. for the most part, you shouldn't worry about it beyond a diamond in helm and a few items (preferred Shoulder/glove combo is how most get it).
but as far as paragon, i would actually spend whatever it takes to get CHD and CC close to 1:10 (1% crit per 10% critdamage) and then max out CDR. either way, its not going be game changing, but may speed up grift clear time by a few seconds.

are you dying or just not clearing fast enough?
Also, CDR isnt really that great now that FC has two charges, i prefer other stats. also i dont know if your profile is old, but "Weapon Throw" on pants should be rerolled as well as HoTA on boots for speed.
I also dont think unity is all that important if your clear speed is high enough, most times I opt for a rorg to use my magefists (I roll fire, and they rolled amazingly), but alot of barbs use Bul-Kathos.

To improve damage i would: get new ammy with Fire, Crit Chance, CHD, socket (put bane of the trapped in socket, it has its own Damage multiplier). then get a RoRG/SoJ combo for group play. with freed slot try and get a decent cindercoat/Magefist. Then swap out ice armor for a energy armor (pinpoint if survival isnt an issue, force armor for higher grifts and survivability issues). swap frost nova for Black Hole - spell steal.

While i have not played console version, i have played PC from launch (taking breaks as most people have). Yes, the game was mediocre at launch. people had expectations it really couldn't fulfill. Yes, the original release is VERY linear.
But seriously, since patch 2.0, this game has blown past all the original issues. Now, if you were to get in a time machine, and travel back to July of 2000 to play original Diablo 2, you would realize the game was at BEST mediocre and honestly had so many issues that it really didn't reach its stride until LOD came out summer of 2001 (depending on the class you played). now that was about a whole year of kinda boring, kinda crappy game-play.
On the topic of rifts. they are possibly the best thing i have ever seen added to a game since battle.net.

5 primary's and is quite acceptable (granted you are "stuck" with move speed or life on hit. but I don't mind either of those). granted after the %elemental works as intended on weapon damage it will likely perform below +holy/Lightning
Edit: forgot my on topic portion...
I have a pretty decent rolled http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/skycutter that I am keeping for when they fix the %elemental bug. going to try swapping heavenly strength for holy cause. should be getting a pretty good chunk of bonus then.
