Regular crit — 150% of damage(100% + 50%( <— that's called critical damage bonus)).
With
Ice Shards:
100% + 50%+50%*100% = 200% (Frost spell crit).
With
Spell Power:
100% + 50%+50%*50% = 175%.
With
Ice Shards AND
Spell Power:
100% + 50%+50%*(100%+50%) = 225% (Frost spell crit).
Frostbolt has 81.43% spell damage coefficient(
Source) and 91.43% with
Empowered Frostbolt, BUT(!) you can't get Empowered Frostbolt AND Spell power at the same time!
Last
available to players rank of Frostbolt is
Frostbolt (Rank 13) and deals 597—>643 damage.
So, with 1100 +spell damage, Ice Shards and Spell Power, Frostbolt would crit:
(597+1100*81.43%)*225% —> (643+1100*81.43%)*225% =>
3359 —> 3462.
With 1100 +spell damage, Ice Shards and Empowered Frostbolt, Frostbolt would crit:
(597+1100*91.43%)*200% —> (643+1100*91.43%)*200% =>
3205 —> 3297.
If you are so addicted to really huge numbers at your screen I suggest gem
Chaotic Skyfire Diamond; with this, Ice Shards and Empowered Frostbolt, FB crits for 209% regular damage(100% + ((150%*1.03)-100%)*2):
3349 —> 3446 and with Ice Shards and Spell Power FB would crit for 236.25%(100% + ((150%*1.03)-100%)*2.5):
3526 —> 3635!1 (+1100 spell damage again).
I believe currently 236.25% is max crit multiplyer for Arc-Frost mage.
I like this math. ;p
Add: Sorry,
tabs39, I completely forgot about your main question while was writing this.)
Answer is: 3.6k crits are okay, you're doing it right.

But my FBs are critting for a good 250% normal.
Incorrect. You have more spell damage than you thought, apparently.
