I'll probably play a bit more tonight. I don't have any real MF (I think one of my pieces may have some MF by coincidence) and not uber geared. However, the lack of finding any item of significance is making it harder and harder for me to continue the grind. I want to find an orange item already! *cry*
Just keep with it, man. I switched over to combat MF gear over "swap-out" mf gear and it made a huge difference in legendary drops for me.
I know you mentioned you aren't "uber-geared" so I'm not trying to throw my situation in your face. What I hope to imply is that just by PLAYING the game normally you'll get Magic Find by default thus translating into more and better drops for you. Hopefully while you do this you can pick up a worthwhile combat MF piece in your travels to make the situation better for you.
As long as you're having fun playing you'll just slowly start becoming a magic finding machine with no extra effort besides leveling (Okay probably not that good but you get my point)
Many of you are still having trouble getting anywhere in Inferno. This little movie will show you what the rest of us did when we first got to inferno.

1. I can't farm Act III yet:
How far have you been able to get into Act II? It may seem odd but I found the Soulstone Area (Act 2 - Chapter 8 - Soulstone Chamber) a better spot to work items than the prior Act 2 Chapters, specifically the desert / oasis areas. Less trash to wade through and I found the bosses easier to fight using the environment. The reason I mention this is the increased ilvl 63 percentage rates as well as just the idea of something challenging beyond act 1.
2. Tips for Weapons:
Your "ideal" weapon target is right on but you're absolutely correct where those cost a fortune and you may need to "bridge" the gap until you get lucky with a drop or can get a steady flow of decentilvl 62 / ilvl 63's / odd rarity worth a lot to start generating gold.
Try searching for Weapons with: Dex Attack Speed Has Socket
With that socket you can gem:
Amethyst - Life on Hit
Emerald - Crit Dmg
(You can't Gem Attack Speed ergo why you'd look for that affix in your search)
I peeked at the AH with the above filters and I found a couple in the high 800's DPS / low 900's DPS range that were in the 6-8mil buyout / 3-5mil starting bids.
I pretty much only farm Act 3 with little difficulty (Certain packs will always be a pain). I say this not to be a braggart but to give some perspective as my weapons aren't anything INSANE.
Fist Weapon #1:
DPS 816 / Dex 161 / Vit 109 / LoH 788 / Min Dmg 13 / Lightning Dmg 228-579 / Int 100
Fist Weapon #2
DPS 933 / Dex 99 / Vit 65 / Life on Kill 567 / 49% Dmg / 219 +min / 249 +max
Anyways, I hope I helped a little and wish you luck!
Hell yea!
I've been waiting for a new Dungeon Crawler for some time now.
For those that may ask "why?"
It's a dungeon crawler.
I don't expect it to be an MMO. I wouldn't crucify Call of Duty or Portal because it wasn't turn based like Civilization. Ergo why I don't expect a Dungeon Crawler like D3 to play like World of Warcraft.
