Because if you get critted by melee attacks in PvE, you failed.

Enemy casting/hits work like this (I'll use crit/hit generally)


Spell Hit (No) -> Miss
Spell Hit? (Yes) -> Crit? (No) -> Hit
Spell Hit? (Yes) -> Crit? (Yes) -> EoE Proc -> Rolled under resi coverage? (Yes) -> Hit
Spell Hit? (Yes) -> Crit? (Yes) -> EoE Proc -> Rolled under resi coverage? (No) -> Crit


Melee runs on a hit table, but -generally- ends up the same in terms of EoE procs and resulting resilience downgraded crits->hits.

It'd appear something like this (very basic) against a 20% crit melee and capped hit attacking from the front against someone with -10% crit...

Roll 0-499: Parry
Roll 500-999: Dodge
Roll 1000-7999: Hit
Roll 8000-8999: Hit + EoE Proc (resi nerfed crit)
Roll 9000-9999: Crit + EoE Proc

Not a question of if it work's or not it's more like how often will it work?

E4E is just a free feedback attack you return back to the hitter. I'll pick it because it is does not require you to smash a button to deal dmg, and in PvP, the most annoying classes are those that burst. (burst almost always equal heavy crit)

rogues/hunters/elemental shaman/mage rely on crit to kill. They can't stop critting. They in fact can force crit attacks. They have talents that boost their crit damage with spells crit.

(think frost mage with shatter)

20% goes a long way when it cost no mana, free damage and completely off your GCD.

Boss hit my, eye an eye make hhurt boss.
Eye for an eye comes in handy lots of times in PvE like when.....nvm.

You are surely joking or you forget that bosses can't critical with spells. They can critical with melee, but if the tank can't even take those crits you aren't going to survive them.
