Never assume that a Blizzard tooltip or description is correct - the Imp.MotW tooltip is still wrong!
Having said that, in this case, I was wrong :)
Here is a

I went out and did some tests just because it wasn't fully clear (at least to me) whether the Predatory Instincts change was just for the AoE damage bit or the entire talent since its tooltip still reads "While in Cat Form, Bear Form, or Dire Bear Form, increases your damage from melee critical strikes by 10% and reduces the damage taken from area of effect attacks by 30%."
~6-7 mins on Servant of Allistarj (since target dummies always end up with random crap on them from others testing nearby, Whirlwind applied Blood Frenzy etc). This was doing nothing but autoattacking and Mangle spamming, using Berserk on every cooldown. Tiger's Fury was not used.
Cat Form Auto-attack
227 hits (Average damage: 330)
158 crits (Average damage: 725)
725 / 330 = 2.197
Cat Form Mangle
82 hits (Average damage: 1480)
67 crits (Average damage: 3255)
3255 / 1480 = 2.199
Bear Form Auto-attack
106 hits (Average damage: 705)
63 crits (Average damage: 1409)
1409 / 705 = 1.999
Bear Form Mangle
61 hits (Average damage: 1571)
41 crits (Average damage: 3140)
3140 / 1571 = 1.999
So yea, the critical strike damage is now only Cat Form as well.
edit: Helm was unequipped to keep metagem interaction out of it. There's no reason that shouldn't still work in Bear Form, however.
So yes, it is infact 220% damage when you crit in cat with predatory instinct (and only 200% in bear now).
Sorry for the misinformation earlier :)
