Has anyone been able to figure out whether this would add 1800 * 0.03 = 54 damage to every crit (making it equivalent to ~20 spell damage) or whether this would add 3600 * 0.03 = 108 to every crit (making it equivalent to ~40 spell damage)? If it's the latter, this would be a monumental gem for ele shammies.

For melee, we know that it makes crits equal to 203% of regular damage, not 206% of regular damage. If this metagem actually does apply to spell crits, I would expect similar behavior -- crits become 153% of damage (203% with talents).
