In Diablo II the focus was on, teleporting your way to the nearest boss and blowing it up in 3 seconds flat, loot + move on to the next boss.
Since they said that this time around, bosses will not be the most efficient way to farm gear, magic find and gold find will even themselves out in the long run. To me it seems the best method for finding gear and getting large amounts of gold is going to be in the form of the right combo of stats that result in the quickest clearing of large groups of enemies along with enough survivability that you wont drop if something gets the jump on you.
The result is that magic find and gold find will be largely diminshed in the long run, whereas core stats are whats going to be far more important for both normal play as well as farming. Not to mention, maybe im wrong on this since im not in the beta, but the focus seems to be on team oriented play this time around and synergy between teammates will be more important than being able to simply blow everything up solo as it was in diablo 2
