Blizzard wanted a step away from memph/pindle running which ruled the older versions (specially with all bots on BNet). They wanted more parts of the game to be interesting for people to hunt items.

So adding the lvl 85 areas was (and still is in my opinion) a nice idea, specially because there are some choices which can be made in 1.10.

But Meph hasn't really changed at all. The only thing that changed was the addition of more high end items, leading to a smaller percentage of uniques and sets possible for him to drop. And Pindleskin can still drop anything except Tyreal's Might and Azurewrath, right?

They did change memph to drop less, they increased a lot more areas to drop more. Meaning you have more of a choice now.

I find RoF is good if you have good AoE/mass kill skills (orb, blizz, traps, LF etc). Killing stuiff 1 or 2 at a time becomes a pain there, with eggs hatching and those annoying hag things that churn out babies every 5 seconds.

Good point, I had a FO/CL Sorc that is currently faltering in Act 1 Hell until I get her and her Merc better gear ( I am currently working on a Tri-Elemantalist with CL/M/B). Meanwhile my lvl 83 Frenzy barb just completed the Caos Sanctuary. It was a real battle keeping him and my Might Merc alive until I was able to socket Delerium for my Merc thanks to the Ist from Hell Countess :clap: . I got quite a kick out of watching Pit Lords and Doom Knights battle it out while that little Bone Fetish carved a swath thru thier kneecaps! And yes I hate those damn spawners too.

I think Blizz should have nerfed Pindle...now his drops are equal to 2 bosses in lvl 85 area (except Pindle can't drop 3 items) and it is really fast to run him. It is kinda silly to add high lvl areas into the game so people can run them and then leave rather easy boss with godly drops next to Harrogath

Not to mention extending the durance maps vastly, so now (especially in bnet) they take longer to run (although since every other person is hammerdin with enigma, it sort of evens out).
And pindle does take dedication to get good items. alot of people will think 'ive run this guy a 100 times and not got a sngle unsiue, other than 5 vnom wards', even though those 100 runs would take less time than 5 baal runs, and pindle is very safe to run, only his FE can be a pain.
