Just was thinking to myself that it may be profitable to farm for specific legendaries. Certain pre-60 legendaries (not weapons of course) are worth multiple million gold (Lacuni Prowlers, well-rolled Boj Anglers, etc etc). It is possible that there is a range of levels (like 51-53 or something) where the majority of the legendaries in that range are profitable. At least in D2/WoW, mob level has a heavy factor in the itemlevel of the drop. You could find specific chests and sets of mobs with high drop rates for the specific level of item you wanted if we had a way to obtain all that data.
The advantage to this is obvious - you could farm entirely in your MF gear with 5 valor stacks: hitting up multiple chests/goblins in a single game. It does require some pre-planning though. You'd have to do research on legendary levels/prices as well as map layouts - chest/goblin locations. Many chests/goblins on Inferno end up being ignored because they are too deep into enemy territory to farm quickly and this would no longer be a time concern on other difficulties since you could one-shot everything.
That said, I'm still not sure whether or not it would be even on par with Inferno farming (Butcher, Act 2 Goblins, or otherwise), but I think it might work. For example, given that the average Prowlers is ~3 million gold, you'd only have to pull one every 6 hours to net 500k an hour.
