While I see what you're saying, it doesn't make crits useless. Burning will use the highest value, so if you crit, it'll overwrite your current weaker burning with the new stronger one(assuming your crit did more dmg than your last hit, depends on the source and such). The point of the curse though is to help non crit builds too. If you have 5% crit, crits aren't going to happen often. Even in a crit build, you won't have that much until fairly late and you're still probably not going to have more than 25%, probably less. That means a still fairly large amount of your spells will be non crits, but having a chance to proc burning guarantees they'll do more damage overall. 2 procs back to back or a crit will kinda "waste" damage, but the burn damage is also extremely strong if you get it semi permanently(say with chance to ignite too).

I think overall the curse's fine, mostly the issue lies with burning/ignite which has been discussed a few times, the damage increase is good on paper but in practice it's often wasted, not useful or not impactful enough compared to the other 2 mechanics. Making burning more attractive would "fix" your problem most likely.
