10k is weak, I feel so fail seeing it.
14k is more fun

My personal highest is 13k (obviously rounded). You see a HUGE difference when you gain more spell power / upgrades. Can't wait for 4 set T7. =D

Yeah with old 4 bonus on t7 i'd see 13.5's tops in raids, but i got t8.5 legs... Yeah highest EVER is 23k on thadd... maybe that was a lightning bolt, i don't remember but it's thadd so nothing matters anyway. Yeah these days I do 7.5k-11k... kinda fail but oh well
BTW yeah duh i'm elemental, enhance/resto can't crit like that. here's why:
-
Concussion
-
Call of Flame
-
Elemental Fury
-
Elemental Oath
- specifically the "in addition" section.
-
Clearcasting
- just so you non-elementals understand oath
-
Lava Flows
- that is the big one
-
Totem of Wrath
-
Shamanism
- it's sorta the other big one
-
Elemental Weapons
- ok, so it's in enhance but it's just another thing that makes elemental crit BIG
The first three on that list are commonly grabbed by enhancement shamans (and the last one - DURR), but without lava flows you can't get massive crits, and shamanism is a big help, but those are both DEEP in the tree.

if you look at the title of the thread, you will see it's asking my highest LvB crit. It was around 14k, then I did Hodir. It's now in the 40k range.
Please spell correctly before you call me out

Highest crit in PVP that I saw from myself was 10k, rounded down.
Highest in PVE was around 8k, but never raided with Elemental so that was just in 5 man instances. Where I was tanking. As Elemental. I suppose raid buffed, well geared.. you could pull out 12k to 14k regularly.
Certain bosses that buff your damage output will raise that even higher obviously.

In my Hateful/Deadly pvp gear with 925 resil, I've seen 11.5k crits doing dailies using the Platinum trinket from WG and the Lava Burst Glyph. Largest crit on a player was 10.5k. Though I've seen it only crit for 4.8k on resto druids while they are using their barkskin =(
I don't use the Lava Burst Glyph for my pve build, nor do I have any trinkets that give spell power bonus when used. In my pve gear running 25 Naxx I got a few 20.5k on Thaddius, and a couple 13.5k crits during the same run on different bosses.

With a 6 stack of tenacity, 19k. Normally about 10k.

I call bull%^&* on people who say they do more than 13k unless they're under certain circumstances. If they were to just drop their totems and go at it with a test dummy, they probably wouldn't see more than 11k, if that.
I've pulled 14k on a training dummy. That's back when I had
Glyph of Lava
and the t7 4 piece bonus, but if you crit your flame shock then
Elemental Oath
kicks in and if it also managed to proc something like my
Sundial of the Exiled
then I've done it.
It takes a little bit of luck to get different procs to roll together but when they do you get that 14k.
I'm using the LB glyph now and no longer have a 4 piece set bonus so the highest I see in raids is about 12k... i think i did a 12.1 on emalon last night, but you get it.
ALSO, remember the fact that almost no buff an elemental gets that is helpful will come from somebody else. They are pretty much the least stackable spec, and the only buff that I can think of that will directly affect your crits off of LvB would be either a feast or
Curse of the Elements
.
