I agree with Nico, I don't see this upgrading as unbalancing, but rather as leveling the playing feild. The major thing that separates "godly" players from your average joe player is the amount of cruel elites(found in cows) and the amount of uber elite/exceptional uniques they have MFed.
There may be a few that are better than others, but in general this recipe should allow average players more of a chance to gain weapons that are viable for Hell use. It will also greatly change the variety of such weapons. The runes may even be more easily obtained, if they allow cubing past Thul in 1.10.
Unfortunately most elite uniques(as well as cruel elites) are overpowered(IMHO) as of 1.09. Raising other players to that overpowered state does not seem a good thing to me. I just hope Blizz does a good job balancing the new Hell diff to compete with the legions of new high powered players.
I don't think we can tell how good a job they have done until we see the monsters....
