yes

focusing on stats that boost melee crit (AGI) is fine though, as it also effects your spells as a DK
generally most armor just specifies +crit and not specific to spell vs melee unless you look at intellect, which you should ignore as a DK anyway.

spell power on the other hand is specific to spells, i do believe it will boost your spell damage. but again, its not necessary as you should focus on STR, as attack power effects a DKs spells as well.

i could be wrong of course (especially with the agi comment) but this is my understanding. I'll look around and double check.

EDIT:

from Deathknight.info/wiki
" * At level 80, 45.90 Critical Strike rating = 1% to Critically Strike.

As of the expansion, Critical strike rating will apply to spell based critical strikes as well as melee critical strikes, at the same ratio of rating/crit%.

All Death Knight "spells" scale with attack power. Each spell has its own Attack Power Coefficient (henceforth referenced as APC). The APC determines how much benefit the spell gains from the Death Knight's AP."

Spell power does not benefit Death Knights at all - all our spells have an attack power coefficient (APC) that gives a small percentage of your attack power to increase your spells' damage.

These are still treating as "spells," though, so any trinket effect that procs from a spell hit can still occur, and effects that benefit spells in some way (besides spell power) should still help.

Specifically, spell crit enhancements should apply to your spells - and general crit enhancement will as well.

Agility only boosts melee crit for us =P
