I think the drop rate is a little lower than you suggest. And 30-40 shards is nothing. 150 is a bit too steep, for my blood. I'd agree with that.
The drop rate for the shard is insanely bad. The drop rate for the base item though isn't any worse than any of the other named items in the Sands wilderness area. Should be able to get one in an hour or less by rolling temp iconic toons if you don't have incredibly bad luck on drops.
The base RoSS can be easily farmed if you care enough. Roll up an iconic toon and pile on all the runspeed enhancements you can, run to the namer spawn point, see if the chest is there. If not, recall, reset and try again. Should take less than 5 minutes per run.
Assuming the runspeed suff below stacks, a 10 bard, 4 fighter, 1 barb PDK would likely be the best for this. I think I recall that the runspeed bonus from Swift Defense seemed to be a bit wonky and required it to be toggled off and back on after zoning or something similar to get the movement boost.
Sustained = 75%
30% - Enhancement - Striding/Speed/etc.
10% - Base - 1 Barbarian
10% - ? - Fast Movement (tier 2 Swashbuckler)
10% - ? - Swift Defense (tier 4 Stalwart Defender)
15% - Action Boost - Expeditious Chant (tier 5 Warchanter)
Boosted = 120%
40% - Enchancement - Shadow Walk (level 5 Bard spell) - can sub Haste at 32% if the graphic stuff with Shadow Walk bothers you.
10% - Base - 1 Barbarain
10% - ? - Fast Movement (tier 2 Swashbuckler)
10% - ? - Swift Defense (tier 4 Stalwart Defender)
50% - Action Boost - Sprint (tier 2 Warchanter or tier 2 Frenzied Berserker)
