If it is single roll, that should be impossible unless there was separate categories block/crit and block/hit.

Exactly!
But apparently I assassinated JFK, that makes meā¦ uh, really old, yet I feel so fit!
And there very clearly is.
Edit: For clarification. For yellow attacks.

Iād be curious if raptor strike and mongoose strike follow the same pattern.
That would be an interesting test. Might be hard to catch logs of that though since hunterās arnt known for bonking things from the front.
One thing I forgot to add was that herioc strike canāt use the same table as white hits since it doesnāt have glancing blows. It would have to use its own separate table if it indeed was 1 roll.

Good catch. I would have to spend more time than i have right now looking into that to figure that one out.
But from just a cursory glance there is a ~6% crit discrepancy.

Oh good catch, maybe warriors have a special treatment situation on HS, but maybe not, it may be 2 rolls.
https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/R94YjM381BrhnCaF#type=damage-done&boss=-2&difficulty=0&source=29Looking at this warriors tank parse againā¦
Have a look at his max possible hit rating at 6% based on his gear. I think this boy is crit capped.
Heās got all the good buffs, and so his lack of hit is pushing his auto attack crit rate down for auto swings demonstrating how valuable hit actually is if you WB.
Have a look at his HS crit rate when modified for avoidance @ 35.99% Crit.
Then factor in his horrible crit rate vs his hit cap, 27.3% crit on auto swings makes perfect sense because heās DW most of the time.
Since nost? Then you never played vanilla.

It actually works out, have a look. Heās crit capped, his WBās are pushing him over his crit cap for auto swings, but since you cant crit cap special attacks as easily, heās seeing better crit rates on his specials like Heroic strike.
=)
Double roll!

And this is why parse data is so awesome because we can dismantle the game mechanics to learn from them!
This reminds me of that 
that said world buffs and flasks could be dispelled and was set on it, then left in shame, but never accepted being wrong.

what has my thread turned into
you can dispell DM buffs and songflower, so some world buffs at least.
A mechanical discussion.
Imagine being a rogue and complaining about PvP in Classic. It took 5 phases before warriors got enough gear to outscale every PvP disadvantage inherent to the class as it tries to fight literally anything else. It only gets better for us in phase 6. Feed me more delicious rogue tears; the mages are next.
You are aware that yellow hits canāt glance, right? Thatās why the crit cap for yellow attacks is pretty much unreachable. Youād need 40% extra crit to cap yellow attacks against level 63 mobs, assuming exactly 6% hit and 305 weapon skill.
And that is ignoring the dual wield penalty, which adds a huge miss chance to the top of the table and pushes most regular white hits off.
I donāt see glancing blows on special attacks ever, at least I have never in any logs. If you do please show me them, I only see glancing attack on auto swings. By āyellowā I assume you are talking about the same as we are, special attacks.
