Nor am I modeling a two-roll system for either yellow or white attacks; maybe we should see what the rogues have decided with regards to that at some point in the near future.
As far as I know it's been decided already that yellow attacks are indeed on a two roll system whereas white attacks are on a single roll system. There's several threads on this forum with evidence to back this up.

Having monitored the WWS for myself and another feral druid over several weeks of raiding now, I can attest that crit % is consistently lower for yellow attacks than for white attacks when equipped with less than 8.6% hit, and the difference becomes notably more apparent with lower levels of +hit. To me this is a pretty clear indication of a two roll system on yellow attacks, and personally I'm satisfied that this is indeed how it works.

With this in mind, +hit (and FCR) becomes significantly more favorable, as Crit % on specials (CS%) becomes (Crit % x (100 - Miss %)).

So for example,
at 0% Hit and X% Crit, CS% = 0.914X
and at 1% Hit, CS% = 0.924X

With say 40% crit that's an increase of 0.4% CS per +1% hit which provides a fairly significant increase in dps, all things considered.
