We get a little crit for some talents from artifact tree and our Bulleye's trait gives us a large stacking crit buff (meh to crap on short fights, amazing on long boss fights with last 30% burn phases...looking at you Ursoc, Cenarius, and Xavius).
TLDR, I see a lot of hunters wearing Mastery/Crit cause....there seems to be a lot and some people just wear whatever is their highest ilvl without doing math to see if its actually better.
