The Spirit Conversion isn't too bad at all, it's better than nothing and in the long run could work out scaling quite nicely when we get near the end of WotLK's life cycle.
The problem I think most mages have with it is it's not like we had "nothing" and they added the spirit to crit rating. Glyphed molten armor gave 5% crit and losing that in exchange for the crit from spirit means they took away 5%, then gave us back +/- 5% and called it a day.
I can understand that I suppose. However, given time I still feel we'll actually end off in a better place than if they had left us with the pure 5%. Plus from the looks of things they'll be giving us another Crit boost through the Imp Scorch talent which IMO when combined with the scaling from Spirit will leave us in a very nice place in a few patches time (once the gear matures).

Not my maths, but this new change makes the Spirit changes look very nice.
Posted by Aniline on the Official US Forums
New spirit -> crit conversions for Glyphed Molten Armor currently on the PTR:
~417 spirit to equal 5% crit.
Raid buffs:
80 Divine Spirit
~52 Imp Mark
10% Imp Kings
~248 spirit from gear is needed to hit ~417 spirit with raid buffs.
I don't know about you guys, but even in my Naxx10 gear I've got 465 Spirit unbuffed. Unbuffed I'm getting more than the current 5% Crit and in a raid I'll be getting even more!
It's now without a doubt a very nice buff and one that'll keep on giving.

On a whole different subject, is anyone still apprehensive about the fact Glyph of Mage Armor is yet untouched?
Very. :(
