reforging will always have a higher chance at getting what you want than upgrading a rare if you think about it.
1/10 chance for ancient when reforging. although... the mats needed take longer to farm than upgrading a rare.
i don't know the probability for rare to the legendary you want, but i can tell you its much much higher than 10% :P
Assuming you can get 700 dbs and 4000 white mats per hour you can get around 100 items every 6-8 hours which have less chance to be what you want. You have a 50% chance in 100 items to get the ancient you want, 98% chance in 3 sets of 100.
12-15 min sets for bounties in pub games allows you to get 6-8 re-rolls per hour pending you have the souls. Considering you are getting legendaries at ~ 8 per run in gr 70ish you will have enough souls for 1 hour of bounty mats in around the same amount of time. But you get around 8-10 souls per bounty set as well as 100 white/blue mats.
Very specific items will have a better option of farming whites/dbs AKA anything around 11% chance to be the item you want (yangs, most set shoulder/glove/chest/boots as an example). But if you want a very specific ring/amulet or pair of tasker and theo or something you are better off using the re-roll with bounty mats. Theres actually a calculator to see what you should invest your time in.
