If Crit > Mastery, Crit is going to be better than mastery whether you are at 20% , 50% or 150% mastery, and you should reforge mastery to crit. Unlike haste and breakpoints, there is no reasonable stat priority where Mastery is better to 50% and then Crit becomes better after 50% mastery; both stats have a linear value. It's a theorycrafting fallacy to set "mastery goals". To properly min-max stats, you either go full mastery or full crit; there is no value in balancing them.
