I can see that. However, if I'm rocking a luck suit, I'm going to bless a harder to get item like the Robe. I'm not looking to stand toe to toe with any monster/player in my luck suit, so the DCI is less important to me. Currently on my suit I run 34 DCI with the sword, shield, sash and quiver combined. I feel the LRC is the only redeeming piece, yet LRC has such a low imbuing cost/high chance of spawning on a legendary piece. It's easy to put 17 on a few pieces and it doesn't cripple your suit.
For me, resists, LMC, MR and HPI are far more important than the overcapped LRC, and that combination can only be had by imbuing/farming. The AOF was amazing prior to the loot revamp, but you're exactly right when you say it's all up to the individual. A lot of players will run the AOF, and play in crappy 140 luck basic suits and not try to max stats.
