Is the gem thing just a flexibility thing? Obviously you are getting elemental modifiers, but you'd like to have more control?
Wasn't poison damage always blah in D2 BECAUSE it was DOT? Again, its been a while
What is a cast on ability?
Others make sense, and thanks for that.

No worries man. Not sure why they made the gem restrictions this time around, they never really provided any reasoning for it. Cast on abilities are things are mostly procs, stuff like 1.5% chance to blind on hit and so on. Most are so incredibly low that they are undesirable and dilute the roll for that item. DoT stuff becomes pretty important in Hell/Inferno as you have to kite more and things dont just get owned when you breath on them.

Some people have done way more detailed write ups on the loot tables, modifiers and issues, I'll try to dig some up at lunch. To quote some other guy and kinda sum it up though:

They need, with no exaggeration, at least 10 times more unique item traits than what they have. Inferno items should be like:

-Damage
-Core Stats (Str, Int, Vit, Dex)
-Secondary Stats (Resist, Crit, Attack Speed, Crit Damage)
-Cool Stat (Ability Modifiers, Run Speed, Procs, Poison cloud aura, snare aura)
-Uniquely Cool Stat reserved for legendaries/uniques/whatever (Randomly shoot out exploding chickens that peck the enemy and then explode for AE fire damage)
