Wait, what?
over 40%?

Crit Chance % = 0.0693 x CRT – 18.486
10% if you keep Straight Shot buff up 100% of the time.
Max uptime on Internal Release will average 5% additional crit.
So your crit rate would have to be ~628 for you to average over 40% crit rate through an entire fight.

BiS plus max crit food leaves you around 530, doesn't it?

What kind of "BiS" set that gives you 530 critical only? My config with Allagan bow with Devil Eggs gives 482 accuracy and 555 critical. BTW outside coil you don't need accuracy so I can just swap and go and up your crit to 594 (Buttons) or 608 (Devil Eggs). 40% and above crit is do-able, there was once my FC mate who does parasing told me that I did a 55.5% crit rate for one of the Titan EX fight.

Look at the date on the post.
That was way before 2.1 when we didn't have nearly as many i90 gear choices...

The BIS then was pretty heavily considered to be http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/LNE8 so 535 crit was pretty standard.
So crit rate would be right around 35% over the course of the fight.
