Here's what doesn't: All dots, all channeled. Categorically, that's 2/3 the warlock abilities. Play wise, a warlock could be useing all dots/channeled spells and nothing will ever critical in a battle.
Our pet attacks can critical, and pet spells lash of pain and firebolt.
Non-channeled destruction spells critical. Shadowbolt, Searing pain, Immolate, Conflagorate (talent), shadowburn (talent). Of these, only shadowburn is guaranteed to be instant. Expect to be interrupted. With 17 point nightfall talent, shadowbolt may become instant if the talent procs, but there's a whole array of bugs associated with that.
I've never seen death coil critical.
I repeat, no dots critical. No channeled spells critical.
By comparision, almost all mage dmg spells can critical. Only a few don't. Short list for non destructo-locks, as half the critical-able spells are talent based and all our channeled spells cannot crit.
Hmm. Once in a long long while, health stones critical heal. I do not know if equipment can help healthstones critical.
