I thought it was pretty much known how the enchantment works. Because of the ICD higher % sort of hit diminishing returns, because the time frame you benefit from these higher % is not 100% and the higher % the less time you actually benefit from them. In Mod 6 you can technically achieve 25%, but I'd highly advise against it.
If you see my example earlier, it does not hit diminishing returns, as the higher the percentage chance, the faster you get a drop, and start a cooldown. Especially since they are added together, and not X rolls of Y% chance.

...to see Grabby wee'Snappy, the Halfling HR, running around amidst any area were several people people fight mobs, spamming split shot in every direction to get his drops while others do 90+% of the killing for him.

Same goes for any class that focusses on area effect attacks. CW, TR.
It is one reason why I prefer to find low population instances when doing dailies with my GF.
Guess the answer below from the Dev gives the final answer to our speculations. Seems my original premise was right.

I'm running three DH and two Fey Blessing. That way I most of the time get both kinds of drops. But I never bothered boosting them past the 2% each...
Not a fan of the Fey Blessing versus the Dragon Hoard. They value of the Enchantments, even if all Rank 5's (540 RP), is less than the Dragon Hoard average drop. (Based on my experience they come out to roughly: 2% = (Black Opal = 10,000), 3% = (Flawless Sapphire = 5,000), 5% = (Aquamarine = 1,500), 10% = (Lesser Resonance = 1,500), 10% = (Minor Resonance = 500), 40% = (Peridot = 500) and 30% = (White Pearl = 100) = Or an average drop of 855 RP.
Given that all of the Dragon Hoard Drops are useful for Artifact improvement, and only a fraction of the Enchantment that drop with Fey Blessing are of of a type you need to increase a specific Enchantment optimally.
Now, if every drop from a Fey Blessing were a Rank 5, and every drop was of a type you need to optimally increase one you are trying to refine, then it would be worth slotting. Since they often drop less than Rank 5, and they often drop ones you don't use as efficiently, they are not worth slotting IMHO.
I will stick to maxing the Dragon Hoard, since they drop things useful for every artifact, of which there are only going to be more and more added to the game.
And, as I noted in the other post, the increased drop rate, given time, despite cooldowns, will work to the positive over a lesser percentage.

The enchantments FB causes to drop are worth 270 in any artifact though don't work on artifact gear. They can, however, crit, so on average it should be about 300 RP when dumped into any (true) artifact - or twice that on 2x RP WE, ofc, which kind of is an option as they're BoA and stackable.

I do not see much of a cooldown.... but I may not notice a 30 sec cooldown.
I have 4 DH gems at level 2 and really get refinement gem every 4-6 kills.
I have hundreds of gems in the bank but only 42 black opals and 70 sapphires

I think it works very well
I think I may get one up to level 3

After todays patch my Dragon Hoard enchants seem to be working better
Not as well as before mod6 but best since.
This is not a joke
