Critical mitigation was a mechanic introduced to deal with stat inflation.

When I last played, you *must* have had 100% crit chance or your dps sucked ass, your healing sucked ass. Since scaling was whacked, you'd need 300% crit chance because bosses would negate 200% of it.

Same with chance to be crit. Your defense was so high the boss had to negate it. You needed 300% critical mitigation to have a 100% chance to not get rekt.
