If you think those are "lame stats," you're heading for a lot of disappointment endgame. The BEST ring for a hunter/rogue before this one is Painweaver band which is +7 sta, 1% crit and +16 attack power. It drops off General Drakkisath at the end of UBRS. As you can see, the epic is a major upgrade from this blue.

Also something to note, assuming you only had 1% chance to crit, yes that would mean you only crit once every hundred times you attack. But think about how many attacks you make. Since I'm a hunter, I get an easy way to count since I use ammo. In an average instance run, I tend to take 500-700 shots with arrows, plus another 200-300 with special shots of various sorts. Rogues with their attack speed and dual weapons attack MUCH more frequently, so that 1% starts to play in. It makes a pretty significant DPS difference once you start collecting +crit gear. My ranged crit % is up around 17% right now and I'm not even halfway through collecting the crit gear from DM.

They really need to fix the bug so people don't get a bunch of shit over an accident...or even worse, a ninja loot occurs like in that video.
You can't "accidently" loot a BoP item. Period. There is a screen that pops up and says "Are you sure you want to loot this BoP item?" and then you have to accept. If someone is so braindead that he sees a purple item in his loot window AND clicks on it AND accepts the BoP screen all "on accident," then I'd hate to see what other things he does "on accident."

That being said, the Master Loot bug does need to get fixed.
