That's what I've been doing, and you can see on the other thread the new route I take on a "clear" now. Get 5 stacks, kill Cydaea, and then move on to Rakanoth. (I do a bunch of other Act 3 stuff as well, but if we focused in on just plan farming all that other stuff can be ignored.) Essences seem to be plentiful and you can find those in pretty much any type of game. In fact, I imagine if you're farming for essences MP0 or MP1 would be the way to go.
In small sample size theater, Iskatu has dropped more plans so far than Rakanoth despite the fact that he's not supposed to be one of the plan-dropping bosses. I also crafted 5 sets of Dexterity gloves and got one that was decent. A really good tri-fecta pair of gloves for my DH would go for at least 50MM on the AH at the moment, which means that I would need to roll something similar once in 1,000 times to break even (ignoring material costs). D3 being what it is...I'm not sure I like those odds.
You know where to find me if you want some in-game company!
