Finally.

But, does that mean other channeled skills, such as Warlocks' Drain Life will also benefit from +crit?

Flames incoming.

Interesting point.

It will bring up the whole "Resilience and DoTs" mechanic for review again. As it stands now, wouldn't this spell get hit twice?

Once for regular DoT damage (mitigated by resil)
Once for crit chance and damage (also mitigated by resil)

Definitely messing with pandora's box, but one that probably should be opened.

@ Dillon

In one sense, i suppose you could say it's getting hit twice. But, on the other hand, a DoT having any chance to crit is still a buff over what locks and shadow priests have now. I mean, if you as a lock have, lets say 20% crit chance and a lay a critable DoT on someone with enough resil to negate 15% chance to crit, you still come out with a 5% chance to cirit you never had before
