Did some NM hunting last night with the new set-up (old roaming NMs, not the new 25-35 NMs) and noticed a couple things, that emnity generation seemed more balanced (I attribute this to patching) and my debuffs were sticking much more frequently (this I am unaware if it's due to balancing changes, or to my increase in PIE, or a bit of both).

Also, it's nice to see that class & rank requirements do indeed apply to the new gear.
