I think the SQL query I would write to handle #1 would be an absolute piece of cake, and fast running.
The SQL query I would write to handle #2 would be a big undertaking since they said it would spice up items, as opposed to just changing numbers, and would cause a drastic amount of required computational time as every item needs to randomly pick its new mods.
If all they did on legendaries was boost the numbers, it wouldn't be terrible to handle the update. But then legendaries (weapons, at least) would still be bad in general. Because a weapon without +Damage and +%Damage is nothing, especially at ilvl 62.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
