Not all that silly, it's poorly annotated and I didn't understand it for a long time either until I tried it.

another question is, am i right that u only proc it when the person u cast it on spell crits, not any crit. i dont believe the tool tip specifies that. i used to think if i cast it on a rogue/hunter, they dont get their crit but i get mine.
The spell description is as follows:
"Increases the target's chance to critically hit with spells by 3%. When the target critically hits the caster's chance to critically hit with spells is increased by 3% for 10 sec. Cannot be cast on self."
So both the person that has the Focus Magic buff on them, as well as the person who put the Focus Magic buff on that person will only benefit from the 3% additional critical strike chance when using spells, and not on Melee/Ranged attacks.

The description says that and in testing that's exactly what I saw. One interesting thing was that I cast this on a healer because there weren't any other casters in the group. I don't know much about healers, but apparently they can get critical heals because FM proc'ed all the time.

You should probably keep information like that to yourself, cause, it's sort of pathetic you didn't know heals could crit. I hope your still leveling your very first character in WoW, else you should sit in a corner and feel horribly ashamed.
Now, cause I don't want to be a complete !@#$%^&:
Yes, heals can crit just like about anything else in this game, Holy Paladins and Priests are actually one of the best classes to put your FM on, as they have a lot of crits, giving your FM about a 100% uptime.
Trading with fellow Mages is always better, but next in line for me are usually those two.

I apologize, I'm really not the kind of guy that bashes people because they do not know something. It's just that I can't imagine how you could've leveled to 80 and not know that heals can crit as it's nearly impossible to not notice it considering there are so many ways to see this.
That's not an excuse for my previous comment though, so again, my sincere apologies, I know we've all been new and unknowing at some point.

No big deal, I thought it was funny. Yes I'm new to WoW. I don't see heals except on myself and never noticed any of them being critical. I should have guessed I suppose, I've played EQ 1 + 2 for years and they have critical heals.
