Itemization throughout the game, in general, is terrible. In my Dire Maul group last night, we had like 4 or 5 blue items total drop, plus 4 or 5 green items. The first 2 named mobs dropped ONLY green items!
This was done because the first bosses in Dire Maul are easy to farm. You can kill one, zone out and reset the instance and kill them again. Over and over. The green items were placed in there to deter boss farming.. it'd be just dumb if you could farm those bosses for blues. Enchanting would be cheaper, though.
