11.05 is coming and we have no actual plan to fix the 2 piece tier set for affliction?
I took a look every several days but 10% crit buff never works and nobody talking about it ever since day 1.
is affliction is unpopular or what lol?

Blizzard just doesnt care anymore. Its apparent at how this xpac has been since launch
I think you are misunderstanding the effect of the tierset.
There are a few ways you can increase a secondary stat, two of them is a FLAT increases and Multiplicative increases.
Flat values just add the value (a 0% becomes 10%, a 10% becomes 20%)
Multiplicative values increase the value based on how much you have of the effect in relation to your gear (so a 10% increase with 0% crit is still 0%, a 10% out of 10% crit is increased to 11% or a 20% increased to 22%)

As you can see in the screenshot above from the spelldata, the effect is a Percent Modifier, and it does indeed work like that its just that its adding not much beyond 3%~5% crit as our own personal crit for dots is around 30%~50%
thank you for the explanation.
but if that is only a “*110%”, very minor effect as a tier set isnt it?
Season 1 tier sets are, by design, minor.
Blizzard does it so tier sets don’t interfere with the new expansion class-changes and gearing systems.
It is a minor effect indeed, even among seasson 1 tiersets, who like Galedron mentioned are intentionally made to be weaker.
If i would do some non exact numbers, i would say Average value of a tierset is 5%, with positive Outliers (Devastation, Unholy DK) having tiersets at around 8% to 10%, Negative Outliers having tiersets around 3% (Aff, Destro, Arms, WW, Prot Warrior)
