Because not everyone knows how exactly things work, here is some clarification: The Crit Power Property applies only to the damage a crit adds. So if a weapon does 1.5 times its normal damage on crit (the case on weapons with strong crits, to the best of my knowledge), only the .5 gets boosted by Crit power. On a Veteran weapon, the bonus is 20%, which raises the total Crit damage to 1.6 times regular - a mere 10% increase from normal. And this applies only on crits, which happen at most (if my calculations from memory are correct) 45% of the time at best, including Career abilities - so effective addition by Crit power, over time, is less than 5%. A few specific weapons have an intrinsic bonus to crit rate, on all attacks or some, and Shade and BH have ensured crits at times, so they can boost the effectiveness somewhat, but it will always be unreliable and in the long run, ineffective.
