Though if your attacks didn't crit every swing, the +CA damage would be more ext dps.

What were your crit rates on those dummies?

If ca's crit like spells then 8% base dosent equal 8 crit bonus. Because of the max base + 1 mechanic spells and ca's(i think) yield less dps from crit bonus as the spells mix/max ratio increases.

Yea it works on melee based procs, but not spell/magical, atleast it shouldn't. And i think 95% of item procs are magical damage.

And with next update item procs won't crit or be affected by Base Spell Damage

Heard about that, i guess we're "lucky" since most procs are spell based and we don't have much spell mods to start with.

no, we are not lucky. its going to lower our dps..
if you where base spell dmg for your procs that is...
