Yes, but take into account the benefits of improved devotion aura (that might be usefull if no prot pal, or in 5 / 10 men), Divine Guardian, BoK... 5% spell crit sure is nice for holy paladins, but I'm not really sure if it will be worth the trade off if you're not certain to have a prot pally able to provide thoses benefits.
But the mixing of spell and melee hit / haste / crit surely leaves some space for nice hybrids builds that may prove themselves efficient.

We need some figures to sort it out, but I feel it might be the way to go for paladins in the expansion. Even though there are nice things in the holy tree, I think paladin's main role will move towards tank / dps + support and occasionnal heal. Remember blizzard guys talking about balancing the content for only 5-6 healers in WoTLK ? When I see other classes talents, I feel the one class that has more to gain and less to loose to switch role may be ours.
