Crit is the best way to scale damage, it is definitely not a waste. Edit: Doing maths on this...yep I standby that statement. Crit is the best way to scale up the damage.

It is. There is no doubt. Look at the "Crit or No Crit" section of my build here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/691341. You talk about shock stacking but more crits = more shocks anyways. TL;DR: Not going crit is better for a long time. However crit scales a LOT harder than cast speed + % spell/elemental damage. The more damage you do, the harder the crit scales. Late-game going crit give you the the best possible DPS output.

The more damage you do, the harder the crit scales. Late-game going crit give you the the best possible DPS output. ^ Nearly every single caster build stacks crit and cast speed now. Incinerate is one of the few you don't stack crit but that is just because it has 0 base crit chance. And btw, the quality perk of storm call is 4% increased Critical Strike Chance per quality point which speaks for itself. Also, I would stack a lot more health in this build if you are going health. You would be better off going more along the lines of a sporker build like my link below only ignoring the points into Ancestral Bond so you can be self cast.
