Note: The drop rate on Torment has been increased since I wrote this guide and my damage has increased significantly so I pretty much run T1 exclusively. You would need a bonus legendary drop rate of over 10x the drop rate of Torment 1 to make Torment 6 more efficient in terms of Legendary farming. The issue is that each torment difficulty scales harder than the last, with monsters reaching ~8600% health at Torment 6. I have 1.2 million DPS & ~3 million toughness on my Wizard and anything above Torment 1 feels slow to me. Also, I would never recommend farming on anything higher than Torment 1 without several best in slot items already on your character. A rule of thumb that I have been using is that a Torment bounty run shouldn't take more than 1.5x the amount of time you take to complete the same run on Normal difficulty. Torment difficulties do offer Torment only legendaries so eventually you will want to end up farming there but make sure you get the necessary DPS & toughness to farm efficiently. Torment difficulties are only worth farming when you have the DPS & Toughness to clear the bounties & rifts quickly. Expert difficulty gives you double bonus blood shards from bounties so that is a good next level to bump the difficulty level up to. Instead, try clearing adventure mode & rifts in Normal-Expert difficulty until you farm enough items to bump your difficulty up. When most players first hit level 70, they will not have gear which allows them to efficiently farm Torment difficulties.

Tip #1: Speed is better than Difficulty Bonus Drop Rate. I've put approximately 20 hours into Adventure mode on ROS so far and I've found 36 Legendary items (not including set/legendary plans/mats) which while it is not the greatest is almost 2 Legendaries per hour, which is nearly 4x above the average of 1 legendary per 2 hours average that a Blizzard employee mentioned in a Blue post on the forums.

Here are some tips that I've discovered while farming Legendaries the past few days on ROS. Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread
