Is chest farming worth it?

I saw this forum post: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/12329613230

The gist of the rather long post is that you get far more legendaries by making "chest runs" through story missions, like Act V Mission 6.2, than you will by killing anything. It recommends stacking survivability and mobility and outright ignoring all mobs (especially elites) and treasure goblins, focusing solely on looting chests. The results it claims are on the order of 6 legendaries/hr as opposed to approximately 1.7 legendaries/hr playing the game "normally".

Some people in the thread says it's fake. I want to know if chest farming like this is worth it in any way.

Chest runs have been nerfed for quite some time. So no it's no longer worth running them. But they were pretty good.

The only thing about chest runs is that it's boring.

All the chests are randomly generated so there are chances when the player leaves the session and comes back, they might find a chest respawn. Most of the mob chests do respawn and the content also scales up according to the Adventure Rank of the player.
