Well 30% of 30 is 9. So even with zorens you're eating a mod slot and 9 points for 9% extra crit chance. Assuming your crit damage is 400% (not sure where you're getting that number) 9% of 400 is 36. So you're averaging a 36% damage increase over longer periods of time. And most of the time your critical hits are overkill, so it won't even make a visible impact on effectiveness. Compare that to, say, any elemental damage mod outside of maybe Shocking Touch and you're wasting a slot and 9 points (unpolarized).

This mod system is extremely flawed in that they're currently trying to build weapons around underused mods and add mods for existing problems (such as poison resist or knockdown duration) that should first be addressed in their own right.
