Uniques are not all of the same rarity
When an item is generated rarity is determined first, it can be white, magic, rare or 1 of some number of unique rarity bands. exactly how many tiers of unique there are has not been publicly revealed.
If the item is unique, a unique is chosen from the chosen unique tier.If the item is not unique, then base type etc is determined.
In the case of chancing, base type never needs to be determined. however if a unique tier is chosen for which no unique of that base exists, then the item defaults down to a rare. So the existence of multiple uniques for a base only affects the probabilities of getting those uniques if more than 1 is on the same tier list.
So to be clear, in a world where infernal mantle did not exist, the chances of getting shavs would remain the same. All that would happen is you would get a rare on those rolls where you would have gotten infernal mantle.

Make skin microtransactions easier to retrieve in Path of Exile
instead of the current look through all your tabs and characters until you find that one skin you are looking for method, my proposal is to have non-consumable skins permanently displayed on your microtransactions stash

Eternal Orbs will literally rarer than mirrors when the Awakening hits
but since these good rares will replace the role of the Eternal Orb, they will at least cost as much as what an Eternal Orb used to cost.

To ever grace Path of Exile
I wouldn't mind it being based on maps, from the way the map system works on Path of Exile, I'd take anything over any map system as end-game

People saying that there is no P2W in Path of Exile are correct
no Poe hardcore player so if i did anything wrong dont bust my head for it. all i ever learned about the game in that few play was chromatic orb, didnt learn anything about regret.

trade you can find a lot of cheap path of exile items
When you actually take your time and search stuff over some time/PM a lot of offline traders you probably could get them cheaper
