Original Post:
As for meta gems, the only acceptable choice is one of the +3% crit damage meta gems due to how it actually works.
It is worth about 150-200 DPS, which makes most headpieces without a meta socket a bad choice.

Can someone explain why this is to me? 3% increased critical damage means that when a spell critically hits, it deals 3% of a normal hit's damage on top of everything, yes?
So, just throwing up rough numbers... take a fight in which you just spam FFB. If an FFB hits for 3000 damage on average, this would add 90 damage per crit. Say crit rate is at 50%... 45 flat damage per frostfirebolt.
45 per FFB / 2.5 second approx. hasted casting time = 18 dps.
I realize this does not include Living Bomb, Scorch and Hot Streak procs.... but how does this come anywhere near 150-200 dps?
Or am I missing something?
