To explain myself, let's say your Thunderclap was at a 5% crit chance before you spec'd into Incite. The math on Thunderclap with Incite would then be:In this case, your crit chance only went up by .75% (not even a full percentage), and you used up three talent points to get it. Before Incite is worth anything to you, I should think you would need a significant amount of crit chance percentage.

This is incorrect for this particular talent.

Incite does increase your chance to crit by 15% for the listed abilities. A little checking around at Elitist Jerks or TankSpot will confirm this.
