Well, while everyone else was out trying for the new animal heads or just trying to log in, I got back thunting after the patch. There has indeed been a major upgrade in the loot in the L6 chests. Before hardly anything was worth keeping. Now almost every item is greater magic or lesser artifact. I didn't see a legendary with 1500 luck, but I only did two chests.
Out of those two chests, I kept about 10 items and unraveled 78 relic frags. Nothing amazing, but pretty solid, and it looks like the possibility for some good stuff is definitely there with the right RNG combos.
On an aside note, I got a lot of really good antique items. I think antique items are going to become viable now, despite how quickly they wear out, because we're going to get so many nearly identical pieces ready to replace them.
