"Rating" system for stats?

I've seen a few posted screenshots from BC, and I've noticed that instead of a clean "3% chance to crit" there will be something like "Increased critical strike rating by 56".

What does that mean? Is there a permanent and retroactive migration to this system after the expansion? How does this convert? Why do this?

The short of it is this was basically done from the perspective of making scaling items better across the board and allowing the numbers to progress better in the long run. Rather than figuring out percents, it also allows players to see exactly what they are going to be getting.

Just so you are aware we are working on a more comprehensive post in regard to these changes. It won't be ready today but hopefully early next week we can get it posted.
