    Incorrect, the dungeons have set loot tables, with set stats. The Grand Challenger's Bounty (item reward based on the highest mythic+ cleared of the previous week) also takes from the dungeon loot tables, and doesn't have random stats.

    I mentioned titanforged as well, but you'd have to be extremely lucky to get an upgrade that way. Titanforged shows up when an item gets a +15 ilvl bonus (base heroic iLvl 825 + 15, so i840) after that, the loot system keeps doing internal rolls for additional +5 ilvl upgrade steps. The total titanforged upgrade depending on how many of those rolls succeed. It requires a lot of luck to get something like i880 from a heroic. As for legendaries, they can drop from nearly any content in Legion.

    The ones who enjoy the feature are often the ones who got the right legendary as their first or second drop. The ones who hate it often do so because they've gotten a shit one, or none at all (like Prydaz or Sephuz).

    But when it comes to tomes vs. random drops, the only way I could see it done through the dungeon system, is when SE decides to create a system similar to the mythic dungeons in WoW. Dungeons that are more difficult to clear, but also give decent gear drops as reward. There'd probably be a lot of complaints by not including it as a solo-queue in the Duty Finder (see PotD 101-200), but I think the cross-server Party Finder will be sufficient to gather parties for it.
