Who gets the loot in multiplayer?

Is it whoever gets the kill or is it up the the discretion of the party host?

That's a good solution, kinda like need/greed rolls in WoW. But personally, I would rather instanced loot, so to speak.

IE: You both kill Boss A, he drops loot Y and Z.

Loot Y can only be seen by Character A, and loot Z can only seen by Character B.

Character A picks up loot Y, but sees it's for Character B. Character B picks up loot Z, and sees it's for Character A.

They swap out items, everyone is happy.

It be good if there was somesort of gold sharing at least, it would just be distracting for everyone to be rushing around trying to be first to chests

I'm happy with the current revision of the loot system for PoE. I think what I like best about it is that the reserved loot has a timer. Let's say you're playing with a buddy and he drops as you kill a boss, you can pick up his loot and give it to him once he comes back and not having to worry about it expiring/disappearing on the ground.
