What do people think?

2pc - weak.
4pc - strong, considering anyone who didn't use rupture in their trash rotations now will.

Varies class to class. Most need talents to get it (like druids) and others only have it affect some, not all, of their spells (warlocks).

Priests get it for SW:P, Devouring Plague, and Vampiric Embrace, with a talent to increase their chance to crit with those spells by a %.

I wasn't saying that the bonus doesn't have the potential to be OP(especially considering the potential for a 40-50% crit rating in 25mans), just saying that when put into perspective with other classes DoTs being crittable, it isn't stupidly OP.

Stupidly OP for the fact its a set bonus which is worthy of a talent, considering the amount of crit rogues get when raid buffed (I'm currently ~50% with a feral druid) thats a massive amount of damage increase for both mutilate and combat builds. Spell classes get crittable dots because thats thier main output of dps, much like melee damage is our main output for damage. We just get something extra from a set bonus which EP out weighs even some of the rogues talents. I don't really know much about the classes bonuses/how it will affect them, but you can't say 100% crit rupture ticks on loatheb would be nice. (Not that you'd be doing naxx with ulduar :P)
