I could be dead wrong, but I feel that right now, critical chance and crit dmg is the only real way to itemize for DPS.
With average rolls on those you can get as much damage as you would get with near-perfect mainstat rolls with some attackspeed (I know because my Wizard had those for a while and she had average attackspeed on 2 rings + amulet as well).
On top of that, there are quite a few builds that rely on a high crit chance, so not itemizing for that also shuts you out from some very cool builds/strategies. Crit chance vs Crit dmg feels pretty balanced (when switched around they can give similar damage), but with both combined, there's no competition for IAS or mainstat focus.
Again, I could be dead wrong, but I have never seen a 130-150k Wiz without crit chance or crit damage.
I don't like the "nerf op things" approach, I agree with the "buff what's underrated" that's usually the Blizz moto for these issues, but on this I don't see any other way around except slightly reducing both stats.

Nice idea.. +1
