C/1:
Did some testing on the dummies in Ebon Hold, so no additional crit debuffs to the targets.
Test 1:
Gear plus horn of winter (32.41% melee crit, 27.77% spell crit)
Blood Plague: 2166 total tics, of which 646 were crits, representing a 29.6% crit rate
Frost Fever: 2170 total tics, of which 562 were crits, representing a 25.9% crit rate
Test 2:
(Unfortunately got interrupted by a server restart)
Gear alone ( 29.92% melee crit, 27.77% spell crit)
Blood Plague: 1186 total tics, of which 319 critted, representing a 26.9% crit rate
Frost Fever: 1186 total tics, of which 296 were crits, representing a 25.0% crit rate
It's probably safe to say that Blood Plague is operating on the melee crit rate as the change between 29.6% and 26.9 is unlikely to be sampling error, but Frost Fever may be operating on the spell crit rate as its change is insignificant. It may actually explain why Frost Fever is currently only critting at 1.5x
I tried earlier to get a parse on the training dummies in Undercity, ended up having nearly the same crit rate between Frost Fever and Blood Plague. I think this could be explained by Critical Mass being up 23% on the dummy, yielding an average increase of a bit over 1%
