Aside from the fact that I crit on a REGULAR basis (I NEVER go a fight without seeing at least half a dozen crits; I once counted 6 in a ROW, although the highest I've seen since is 4 - 5, not that I've been paying much attention to counting), a critical strike while pulling off a combo (via Eviscerate) is just sick. Not to mention a critical on combo builders (Sinsiter Strike regularly combos, and Eviscerate combos quite often; just imagine a critical on Backstab or Ambush!). 200 - 250 damage crits with 3-pt. Eviscerate happen about 5% - 10% of the time. Doesn't sound like often, but that's 1 in every 10 - 20 mobs. Think how long it takes you to chew through 20 mobs. For me, it's about 10 minutes, roughly, maybe even less. That's a significant damage addition, especially when doing instances.
I think I'll stick with Dagger Specialization for now, and see how it goes.

Uh, I'm not seeing the 'huge flaw'. Crits are on a percentage basis (100%), so a crit on an Eviscerate is still just a certain percentage of increase--as Concillian pointed out, 5% over time with dagger spec.
What am I missing? Often I'm slow :), but I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say.
