Note that Shatter puts a "soft cap" on crit for frost mages: the point where you have a 100% chance to crit against frozen targets.
Cap against even-level target: 25% (25% * 2) + 50% = 100%
Cap against a raid boss: 28% This is due to boss "crit suppression" -- everyone has a 3% reduced chance to crit against bosses. For Shatter, this is applied before the Shatter bonus. So you would have:
((28%-3%) * 2) + 50% = 100%
