I was supposing that it checks whether the ability, when it hits, will be a crit or not, but may still miss, much like how Life Surge can still miss? ....Nevermind, that too could go either way. Hit checks no, doesn't check for crit. Wastes LS. Yep, as you said.

As for the Perfect Dodge question, if we had physical attacks that could auto-crit back when Perfect Dodge was around, I could test this, but as PD is gone now and the only auto-crit I know of from ARR was T11, magical, I have no way of checking vs. auto-crits. As for regular crits, I don't remember ever seeing a critical hit go off when tanking / PvPing as a Ninja while my Perfect Dodge was up, but I did that relatively little, and may have forgotten. Never had a Life Surge used against me, though I would assume it would be auto-dodged and wasted?

Yeah, hit check > crit check. My bad there.
