Rare Loot Drop Rate is Far Too Low

Wife and I ran:

4x 25 Sekhemas, 0 rare loot, (4 silver, 4 bronze)
Ran through various zone bosses for a few hours, 2 rare loot items.

If disenchanting requires rares to craft rares, we can never gear up. What are we intended to do?

Spend 100k gold for chance of bad rare item mods that are useless for our current gear setups?

If you get lucky and get a rare loot item, disenchant it, 99/100 times when you craft it onto an item youre working on, it is a waste and you toss it and start over.

This is not fun, the grind for rare loot is far too long for far to few loot items.
