In preparation for the coming expansion and closure of the Auction House, Diablo III has a new free patch that revitalises the loot system and removes the normal / nightmare / hell / inferno settings.
This is great news because rare loot is more likely to be geared towards your character class, and legendary items have been made much more powerful. Overall the number of items dropped is decreased.
Now there are 5 (I think) difficulty levels based on your character level.
I had a very short go with it after I came back from the pub last night, playing a level 34 Monk, and within about 5 minutes got a very nice talon that boosted one of the monk skills, and a piece of armour with massive dexterity bonuses. I think this could well be enough to pull me back in

The full expansion adds a fifth act, a new character, and a new artisan that can change the appearance of items, or reroll some stats.
