I have to disagree with this. What is the point of having a boss drop loot that is just going to be sharded every time? Just have him drop a void.

It shouldn't be absolutely hideous, but I think there is a need to have loot which is not optimized amazingly for the most common spec, promotes secondary skills or otherwise is not perfectly set up to boost a normal role. Part of that is that people want to figure out how to use it. Part of it is that you want to have gear of all stripes just in case things change. And part of it is that people want options.
There shouldn't exist truly horrible loot, but having niche loot or loot where a secondary trait is emphasized (example: haste on the feral druid badge gear) is not bad.
Just make sure that there are options in that slot for other gear to drop. An example of how not to do it is with pillar of ferocity - a horribly itemized piece of garbage that is only better than other options in some situations, but there's simply nothing better that drops from anywhere.
