At least on the PTR..

From mmo-champion...

For Icecrown Citadel, we are implementing a spell that will affect every enemy creature in the raid. The spell, called Chill of the Throne, will allow creatures to ignore 20% of the dodge chance of their melee targets. So if a raid's main tank had 30% dodge normally, in Icecrown Citadel they will effectively have 10%.

I know Blizzard mentioned something before about applying this to crit at some point, since most of us will be entering ICC with 65-80% crit raid buffed. I guess another option is to nerf crit through ICC itemization.

Is this inevitable? What other stats might be at stake? Is there a better way to accomplish what Blizzard is testing without going the Radiance route again?
