It's pretty funny how the very next reply after your post was apparently a player that likes random. I'm with you though, I think the RNG sucks ass. The horror stories related to it make me sad, for instance my guild back in Naxx never got a single plate DPS belt from Razuvious. You know what that meant? Our warriors were using the Rangaros belt until they got a Red Belt of Battle. I think the only other plate DPS belt at the time that was anywhere near comparable was some blue one from one of the Auchnidoun instances, that's how poor the itemization was.
In the same manner, we've been farming BT for a long time and we've never gotten a polearm from Naj'entus and we just yesterday got our first necklace from Supremus. I think a "Pick your loot" style system would be a huge bonus, just because Blizzard is so slow at designing content doesn't mean people should be happy about having to farm instances for 9 months to get that one item that nothing can beat.
Plus, as an officer that's responsible for deciding who gets to award loot it would make things so much easier for me.
