i have a feeling that when you play a character, you find lots of more class-specific stuff for all the other classes than yourself. Is this true or just bad luck?

I've noticed the same thing. I play my sorc, and I find all sorts of druid helms and necro heads...but only one or two orbs in the entire Act V.

I play a druid or assassin, and I find orbs and barbarian helmets all day long...but no animal helms or martial arts weapons...

I've found that it depends on the character. One of my assassins has no trouble at all finding magical claws, and my main druid has even found rare druid helms. But, another assassin of mine barely finds ANYTHING assassin specific!

This is true. I made a new barb for x-pac and the first barbarian helm I saw was the quest reward in act 5! But when I started my paladin I found like 10 before I got to act 5.
This is why we invented "muling"

It's just bad luck and bad odds. When a class specific item drops, there is a 1 in 9 (7 classes, but the Amazon gets 3 items, or is it only 2) chance of it being usable by your class. So, that makes either an 8 out of 9 or 7 out of 8 chance that it is unusable. Not very good odss.

But it __is__ modifiable to some degree in itemratio.txt.

And for my mod, each class has several specific items, so the odds go down even further.
