Spell crit cap must be close to 100%, if you are spell hit capped, so like Special Yellow Attacks, it isn't really a concern. Your spell crit should be around 50% at most.

Interesting finding. So if I understand this correct, you actually need (while expertise and hit capped) 80.8% critical on your character sheet to cap white crits?
