Critical Hits
I`m seriously considering going full CS spec again (I think it may just be viable again with the new RAs), one of the major factors though for me is the usefulness of MoP. If I changed spec I would also go for MoP 5 to maximise my 1 shot kill chances (+39% chance of crit) - what I`d like to know though is what are the caps and rules on melee crits and whats the relationship between crits and hidden styles.
Cheers

In PvP, you can crit up to 50% of the normal hit damage as any class except berserkers who can crit up to 99% when zerked.
Don't think there is any relation to critting from hidden strikes in comparison to regular hits. Critical strike line does not mean critical hits.

I would say that you wait a bit before you lay down all your plans for world domination...

I landed a 929 dmg perf to a blue stealther, and did an extra 741 critical damage.
Would this not be more than 50% of my normal damage?

Yes that would more than 50%, which means some bug occurred, or you misread it.

I would strongly recommend not spending any points for at least a few weeks. Just RvR without RAs for a while. Find out which ones work best against you. Watch for nerfs. Figure out ways to counter the new tactics everyone is using. Those couple weeks will be rough, but being able to plan your character around an educated guess isn't as good as planning around actual experience.

I did not misread it. (it was my max perf, broke my old record)
I have gotten many crits that seems to be more than 50% of the normal damage. If you want I will start keeping track?
