I really, really love the idea of keys dropping from a boss which can be used to get items. I wish they would do this as the token system instead of the current one, if only for lore & flavor reasons. It doesn't make a lot of sense that you can bring this random token to some guy somewhere and get amazing loot, but it feels right to do so from the boss himself. I don't think I'd want a key that could get anything off the loot table, but having some would be good.
I also think that Blizzard has done well with the notion of the badge loot. They've used it to plug some holes in the itemization they have and have used it to give people some baseline gear, just in case RNG is a cockblock. This is especially important for weapons given how much of a boost a weapon can give to a player's performance.
I also think that blizzard needs to continue to make subpar or sub-optimized gear, and that gear needs to drop too. Part of it can be not optimized for the best spec, and part of it can just be oddly itemized. Why? Because people enjoy figuring out what is better and what is worse. They like making those judgments. And it's important as a gauge of how good things are - to see how bad things are. What they've screwed up in is making so much of that the gear for specific specs over others. But bad loot should exist.
