Have you met Warrior? Machinist? Bard, once upon a time? Monk, until being compensated for with DM? It's a long-standing problem, even if not a significant one.

Just convert excess chance to additional effectiveness, e.g. a 120% chance of a +25% damage DHit --> 100% chance of a +30% damage DHit. There, now all current and future users of Auto-Crits and Auto-DHits can take whatever gear their want (in the case of DHit, as Crit gear already gave the guaranteed Crit more damage) and benefit fully from raid buffs (in the case of either).
