As for my feelings on the reward table, I'm pretty sure I'm getting a good participation score and that my rewards at the end are just a result of my neverending bad luck. Still, I've only gotten one Common reward, and generally get an Uncommon for every Lambda and a Rare for every BAF. (I think the Lambda is skewed against me due to Marauder's high Smashing/Lethal resistance, and that covers 90% of the damage I can do.) I have yet to see a Very Rare reward offer, but again, I'm notoriously unlucky for random drops--I average one purple recipe drop every two months, even though I play my level 50 hero almost exclusively these days.
Back on topic...
I convert all my Astrals to threads currently, as I'm still building a stable of Incarnate abilities, but once I have everything slotted the way I want (including an alternate slotting of T3 Seers for Lore to better assist on MoLambda runs), I'll just save all my Astrals.
I can't afford 400M inf to craft Very Rare trial rewards, despite having plenty of Rare salvage in my inventory, so I'll be using Empyreans to buy them over the next couple months. It's not really a big deal; the T4s for the new Incarnate slots don't offer a huge leap over the T3s' capabilities the way they can depending on your choice of Alpha slot. I also enjoy the trials enough to run them multiple times weekly, and don't see that changing as long as they continue to be popular with the group(s) I run with.

I'd agree that some people are "luckier" than others. In like maybe 50 trials I've only seen two VR components drop myself.|

Then again I -created- some of my own luck over the last few years by amassing billions of Influence in the markets. After purple/pvp IO'ing my builds I've had very little else to spend my Influence on. Burning a few more billion for Incarnate components hasn't really been too painful so far.
As always, YMMV.

Except that they aren't. My widow has more very rares than commons and uncommons combined.
