Critical hit immunity at level 80 for a heroic dungeon is 535 Defense, because mobs in a level 80 heroic 5-man are never higher than level 82. Seems as if you're correct, but maybe one of the bosses lowers player's def? I skimmed the boss abilities and didn't see anything of the like, which makes me slightly confused

They can crit you if your hit from behind even if you are D-capped.

There are mobs in HHoL that buff themselves with a 50% increase in critical strike chance.
Also, you aren't defense 'capped' unless you cannot possibly be hit by attacks. You may be uncrittable through defense, fine, but it isn't a cap.

I was unaware of this...

your usually a credible great source of information almost up there with the mods but I'm going to need a link on this one adam you sure your not confusing it with you can't dodge or parry from behind
I might be.... incredibly possible.

No, no they can not.
535 defense skill will make you crit immune from level 82 mobs. 540 for a level 83 raid boss. The only way you can possibly be crit is a special ability (like a stike with +50% chance to crit), the tank gets a debuff (like Thorim's
Unbalancing Strike
), or if you get something like a Feral Druid mind controlled and the mob gets their increased crit aura.
Outside of a very few special circumstances, you are crit immune.

Spell maybe?
From behind?
+x% crit chance buff?
-x% defense/+x%crit chance against target?

I'll say again, From Behind means nothing for crits. A PC can not Dodge or Parry from behind, but they will still be crit immune.

Precious is one of those special circumstances.
Imagine my o_O when I saw a crit number while tanking her (him?).

I've never been crit by precious and have not heard of any ability of her/him that makes them crit you

Precious should not be critting the tank.

My bad, it's Stinky who was critting me:

We just pulled Precious straight after, so I didn't get to check it until after we had killed it as well. And since I took the screenshot while we were rolling for the ribbon, I got them mixed up ;)
