No, but they are not worth it at all. You'll get some gimicky blues while leveling, and have access to two epic off-hands at level 77.
Their item level is 200 like herioc and 10-man raid gear, but the Spirit tome is just bad and the Armour tome ... might be useful for Warlock Metamorphsis tanking or something?

I can confirm that the level 70 versions
[Relentless Earthstorm Diamond] and
[Chaotic Skyfire Diamond] both affect physical and spell crit damage.
It hasn't been that way in live, at least not for a while.
Also, they both show the same calculation behaviour that results in 206% melee crits and 209% spell crits (with Ruin or an equivalent talent).
Furthermore, if you track the effects of the meta gems on wowhead, then you'll see that RED1 and RED2 have the exact same Spell ID on the crit bonus, and CSD1 and CSD2 have the exact same Spell ID bonus too (albeit a different one from RED).
So, while not a direct confirmation, the mechanics very strongly indicate that both will work for attacks and spells.
Which also makes the 21-Agility-Meta better for many casters before full T7 because it only needs 1 blue gems (not joking).
