Is random loot related to damage done/killing blow?

Is random loot related to damage done/killing blow? - Gray and White Concrete Buildings Under White Clouds

I am struggling with finding good items. I am wondering if it is because I play the game all wrong.

I have around 400k damage and play at Torment I/II/III. At level II & III I do very little damage to the enemies and I tend to just follow my more powerful friends around, like a leech feeding on their kills.

Does this strategy mean that I get less good items? Are items based on how much damage I do towards an enemy, or if I am the player killing it, or does D3 treat it equally?
