Correct me if I'm wrong, but if your base crit is over twenty percent, would thirty percent more really make a difference?
It's entirely possible for Warriors to get to around 30% buffed crit (Mongoose and Berserker Stance being the buffs), and since Rogues don't need to worry as much about Stamina as Warriors do (after all, they're not tanking), it shouldn't be REALLY hard to reach 30%, either. While 60% crit sounds lovely on paper, I don't think it would make a seriously noticeable difference in crit-rate.
For comparison: I used to have Improved Overpower. 50% crit is insane, right? Well, I managed to get around 23% crit (kicking and screaming about having to drop precious, precious Stamina for Agility), and the extra 50% (which I think has been confirmed to be an integer addition, like 23+50, and not 23x1.5) didn't provide a majorly noticeable difference. I then specced 34/17 Fury/Arms (dropping Improved Overpower and two points in Deflection), and haven't missed it (though I've been missing that extra Parry :( )
Then again, I haven't played a Rogue past Level 13, so I might not know the impact of Seal Fate (and extra CPs.) For instancing, I wouldn't think it would be a problem to gain CPs at a slightly slower rate, since the tank would be holding their attention (and your slightly reduced CP-generation rate would make it a little easier for the tank to hold aggro.)
