This isn't a blog- we don't care about when you're running Naxx next week. If you're making a point in a post, make it.

Original Post:
OK, reaching 3.1 i had managed to pick up 2 pieces of naxx gear with expertise on them. Chest from Maexxena and the Inevitable Defeat mace. Using these with the old Magister's terrace trinket i manged to dig out the bank, i can get to 6.25% or 25 expertise. At first on the dummies in IF it looked like i was pulling more DPS than normal had i equipped my Battlemaster's Hostility pvp crit trinket, T 7.5 chest and Cryptfiend's bite.
However since we started raiding ulduar, i have noticed a massive gimping to my Crit, drop from >45% raid buffed to around 31% with same group/buffs (25 man). And the number of crits from all attacks and spells was ridiculously lower than i'm used to. Hopefully WWS report goes up tonight for comparisons after i decided to switch gear.
So while being Exp capped is going to be a crucial to max DPS, it doesn't seem to be worth it if we're losing so much Crit due to our heavy reliance on it for DPS.
P.S hoping to run a quick naxx and maly this week so hopefully i get luck with pre Ulduar BiS drops and can determine an optimal way of pushing towards exp cap without losing DPS along the way due to lower crit.
