This is going to be pretty hard with crit rates being as high as they are, so I'm choosing crit rating as the second stat to reforge after spirit.

I'm currently planning to gear around hit-cap, 23.3% crit and 1269 haste breakpoint, but I still don't know whether reforging/regemming into intellect or mastery would be optimal. I'm probably going to try raiding with full mastery first, then later reforge into intellect to see which one provides a bigger difference.

First, we must gear Hit to 17%.
Second, you make a mistake in your calculation of the crit cap. There is another buff and talents :

Piercing Ice : +3% Crit
Molten Armor with glyphe : +5% Critique
Buff or Debuff : +5% Critique
Total : +13%

I think it will be difficult to have the +5% crit buff and the -5% Crit Debuff at the same time in a raid 10.

So, the Critique Soft Cap will be 20% form Gear (crit and intell). It will be very difficult at 85

edit : In the first post, there is a little mistake il'ts "Shattered Barrier", not "Shaddow".
Question : why did you only take 2/3 Ice Floes ?
