Think about it. Doing a Fireball for 50k with 20% mastery will yield a 10k (TOTAL) Ignite. Critting a Fireball for 100k with a 10% Mastery will yield, ready for this? A 10k IGNITE.
On top of higher damage, critting also gives us Heating Up/Hot Streaks.
Until we get close to the hard cap for Crit, Mastery will ALWAYS be our worst stat. Haste at some point COULD be worth more, but Mastery won't surpass either.
(Granted, critting a Fireball for 100k with a 20% mastery build will yield a higher Ignite, but the chances of getting crits would be so much slimmer)
