Problem with the drop system, IMO, is too many items compared to drop rates.
There is about 480 Epics in the game. Perhaps 1/4 of those drop in normal, over all difficulties, 1/4 in Epic Greece, 1/4 in Epic Egypt and 1/4 in Epic Orient.
This gives 120 items for each category.
With this given, for a 4 piece set, 1/30 chance to find first part of the set, 1/40 to find the next part, 1/60 to find the 3rd part and 1/120 to find the last part.
That adds up to quite a lot of epic drops to find the whole set. And let's say, currently you get 10 epic drops from going through Epic Greece, with no farming.
That will make it hard to even find 1 piece of the set you need (only 1/3 of the players will do so).
Now, reducing the number of items is not an option, for obvious reasons.
So I would say the solution to this problem, is simply to make it so that:
1. You have a higher chance to get a blue item which fits your attribute points/masteries
2. The drop rate of blues/purples in general is raised

Fix this. for the amount of chests etc you open, this drop rate needs to be looked at with the most importance. Its near half the gameplay, make it fun to do.
The last point of mine I feel is most important. It discurages farming, as chests etc are everywhere, and with gold enemies with the best drops, it would double the drive for exploration.
I find that those two things would fix your drop woes more than boosting typhon so ppl can farm him again.
Nothing gets me more frustrated thean hours and hours of opening chests for jack, (as of now chests may as well not be in the game, they do nothing but provide potions) and fighting for my life vs some gold named enemy that beats the crap outta you, then give syou nothing when u finally take it down.
This is my opinion, and I figure it would wokr much better than regressing to 1.15 typhon ideas.
