I really don't care the math involved for restraint, my parses don't lie. Fact is, in 99% of non-zerg situations, giving up your critical hit damage isn't going to increase your WS enough to be worth it.

I already mentioned forcing crits via MS, so that is viable, assuming you can TP on the mob, or on fodder mobs to get the bonus.

Barring something epic like 2 BRD and a COR in one pt (one BRD always singing Marches, so you will need 2) I don't see a situation where your attack is gong to be high enough, but your crit rate low enough to justify this. If there is one, I will give you credit where credit is due, but even then I doubt it is something most any player will see on a regular basis.

2 BRD and a COR is epic?

At least for pre-Abyssea "content," the loss of level correction far exceeds any increase in critical hit rate from level 75 to level 80.

I just described how Restraint could apply aside from the obvious, but it really depends on how the WS bonus scales for typical great axe delays. Suppose there is a 2% improvement to be wrung out of Restraint. That likely won't be detected from analyzing parser results of a non-controlled situation, but it would still be an improvement.
