i have a vastly more effective farming method you can put to use. you'll need Heroic mode unlocked; optionally after you've gotten your Heroic armor started crafting you can use the remaining time to play already-beaten levels on Heroic difficulty again to farm those "special" trash enemies. Relic Ruins has a trash enemy that drops materials for a mono earth legendary. Thieves Cove has a trash enemy that drops materials for a water/spirit legendary. Skeletons Tomb has an enemy that drops materials for a mono spirit legendary. Flaming Wildwood has trash mobs that drop the Glittering Ruby; you can craft a fire legendary from that; etc. etc. It's easily feasible to get 5 (sometimes 6, if you're lucky) crafting ingredients per playthrough of each level and because the EXP from each is so high, you can do this many times per day using the health regen provided by your levelups. I've crafted at least 20 legendaries this way and from that, I've fused three epics so far (Earthwarden's Shroud, Armor of the Devoted, Chaos Vanguard).

I've found that fusing ultra-rares almost never gives me an Epic but your mileage may vary; i use my ultra-rares to enhance my legendaries and epics now.
