Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a nerf when fighting bosses (level 73)? Before, chance to miss was calculated differently if your weapon skill was within 10 of the mob's defense skill. As a result, dwarves and trolls gained an extra +3% to hit (in addition to small amounts of +crit) when using their specific weapons against boss mobs. This works out to about 48 hit rating. Replacing that with 1% crit (22 crit rating) hardly seems balanced, since HR > CR for anyone not at the hit cap.
Yep, essentially, they're further nerfing Troll racials. Also, the weapon skill gave a small amount of crit, further making the compensation racial for the change less significant. I'm not sure why they're hell-bent on making Troll racials pathetic, but it seems to be a goal of Blizzard.
