I would like to see something a little different than badges or tokens dropping and being redeemed. Personally, I would prefer if blizzard would review the loot tables of the various instances on a regular basis, and add items from those instances to the trash drop list of higher instances.

I would expect the drop rates of these items to be less common, but more likely the higher up you went in progression. The items could be on a different drop table. Since you wouldn't want to decrease the chance of the quality trash drops that already fall, the secondary loot table could be on a alternate roll, or part of the loot generation percentages already in place.

These numbers are obviously not accurate and are entirely provided by me. They are obviously not intended to be a completely accurate account of the way things are done, but only to give an inkling of what I am getting at.

RNG 1-100

01-04 = pattern drop or vortex/hods/sunmote
05-07 = normal trash loot table
08-09 = expanded loot table from previous instances
10-99 = all the regular crap we already get
100 = world drop

Now, that secondary loot table would have its own table with items dropping from instances further below current content dropping more often, (DST in bt or sunwell), and items from instances closer in progression dropping less frequently. It is probably still more likely to get a DST from running Gruul, but the further on you go, your chances of seeing one will also increase on your regular runs.

Edit: I know what you are all thinking right now. Knowing blizzard, we won't get DST, but Eye of Gruul. It's a risk I'm willing to take.
