Unhappy with 6.1 Samurai Adjustments

Auto-Crits
I understand this one and don't mind always getting the big hits on Iaijutsu, I enjoy warrior as much as ever, but it's important that they actually feel like crits.

The problem is we aren't "always getting the big hits" - between the removal of Kaiten and the potency redistribution, our current Midare crits hit for less than our non-crits did before - they might as well have just made it so Midare couldn't crit and we'd be seeing the same numbers.

My samurai isn't BiS by any means, but my warrior has even worse gear and gets bigger crits with Fell Cleave than my samurai does with Midare.

The other problem is that a big part of what makes warrior auto-direct-crits feel good is that they're only auto-direct-crits if you prep them with Berserk or Infuriate - having a wind-up skill (like Kaiten) makes a huge difference - if truly automatic, the impact is greatly diminished (like we're seeing now with Midare).

I just realized how absurd this is. The lowest-dps tank does more per hit with their main big hitter than the greedy dps does with theirs despite Fel Cleave also being more spammable than Midare.

EDIT: Correction: Inner Chaos is what does as much as Midare, not Fell Cleave - this is much more understandable given the 1m cooldown.
