IF, Regen & MF

Every summer I end up taking a character from scratch to about level 55. This year I am trying to be a bit more smart about it... and in thinking it through I am wondering if I really will need any more than 3 points in Increased Fortitude / Regen.... and just shove every thing else I get into Magic Find. That means that at level 35 I will have capped out IF And Regen (from the skill points obtained at 28th & 32nd Levels) and every other Skill point from 36 onwards will merely be MF.
This makes sense to me now because I don't see myself needing more than +3 to health per level after a while.... and likewise +3 to Regen will heal me soon enough'ish.
Am I missing something I hadn't thought of?
What's your skill point allotment gone out to? Is there something that will be needed further on down the line?
TIA

I don't think there's a perfect recipe for skills. My main build has IF4 and Re2. I don't regret those choices, but I'm not taking any more in either of them. I'm not going to put anything in MF though. I'm actually not sure where I will go with skills. I keep changing my mind about which direction to take, and will probably do that until I actually take a skill that locks in a direction

My MF is because (A) I have NEVER gotten a legendary item and (B) because I have NEVER gotten a legendary item
Have I said I have NEVER gotten a legendary item? I want the high MF for that reason, but I am also thinking about more action points....

Have you gone after a legendary item? The drop chance is only 1 in 10,000, so you are very unlikely to get one unless you grind for it. Even with 5 levels of MF the drop chance is only about 1 in 3000. So if you want a legendary item you either need to be very lucky, or work very hard to get it.

I have gone after them before, but knowing that my play time is limited, I usually do it in spurts. 300 kills here, another 400 a few days later.
I haven't placed too many points into MF before... But I will say this :. Hit level 24 this morning at the bottom of BlackWater mountain, decided to risk it and head up shortly after. I have only killed enough mobs to reach level 25 (about 2 hours ago) and I already have FIVE BlackWater daggers. I almost have all five wyrm Claws I need for the quest as well.
I am really liking MF ....

Not all extraordinary items are effected by Magic Finder.
The description is a bit misleading.
[ we might wanna fix this before the next release? ]
Have you seen this thread?
It lists the items effected by the skill.
I assume it will be updated when we release the new content.
And I believe it is up to date with the public release.
