Has there ever been a time in WoW’s history where a secondary stat can be higher than the damage in a classes main attack?
currently sitting at 1317 crit rating with food while obliterate deals 1316 base damage.
And what is the problem of that?
scaling naturally.
crit rating increases the change of a crit who means nothing on damage.

That’s irrelevant. Crit rating is converted to a percentage depending on the character’s level.

Why are you comparing critical strike chance to the damage a non-crit does?
Because in the current state in means that i also have more crit than i have strength, thus meaning that crit is now my primary stat.
In terms of numeric value, secondary stats have been quite bountiful since I believe Legion.
But the word ‘primary’ is ambiguous.
(example numbers)
100 Strength could provide you 100 DPS.
200 Crit could provide you 40 DPS
500 Haste could provide you 95 DPS.
Just because strength is the lowest total doesn’t mean it isn’t the highest value per stat. It is still the most important to stack, which makes it the primary focus.

If that is true then your gear is kinda low ilvl and with weird setup on high ilvl pieces.
I have rather high vers ( around 1k rating) yet my agi is something like half more or so…
So maybe get a proper gear then compare dmg.
What you been smoking? Your primary stat is either Strength, Agility or Intellect and of course Stamina xD
Secondary stats are actually changed a lot due to diminishing returns. You get better returns after a certain point by putting more points into other stats, rather than just stacking crit.
Whereas stacking STR will always benefit you. I don’t play a plate class, but STR used to convert to parry too?

Well, no, in order to use strength I first need to crit, because they changed killing machines into frost damage which means strength is now useless without first triggering killing machine and subsequently being to actually do damage in the first place, and as such crit is better than strength.
This is funny LOGIC right here
I am not sure if you are trolling or not…
If you are not trolling, just be aware that you have misunderstood how the stats scaling work. It’s fine, we all do errors. I would suggets you try to look into it a bit further on specialised websites.
And if you do not want to do that, be aware that you are making a fool out of yourself.
I am just playing the game as Ion intends me to play the game by once again approving weird updates to the frost dk.
you’re trying to turn a non-existent issue into a “wow devs are dumb” post. if there’s ever been a clean case of trolling, this is it

You are just jealous that I have way more crit than you with my kleia soulbind placing me at around 52%
I think that you have some misconceptions about how stats work. Reading the frost dk guide on wowhead might help abit, aswell as simming your character.
For now just have in mind that you have OVERSTACKED crit to such a degree, that other stats impact dps WAY more than crit.
P.S. and ofc, there have been many times in the history of wow, that many specs had their secondary stats being higher than their main stat (with 8.3 being a recent example). At the moment, this does not seem to be the case for you.

If you are reading the armory, it does not show the passive buff from the trinket which adds another 109 on top of that.
Secondary stats have diminishing return. That means that by having so much crit that other stats, mainly mastery, will have surpassed the DPS gain of any crit you receive because you are receiving an reduced value out of your crit rating. You are nerfing yourself by stacking so much crit if you have the option to use other pieces that have less crit but more of mastery.
You may have more crit than strength but strength is netting you a bigger dps gain per point. There is a crit breakpoint for the Frost Domination set but that’s going to be it.
Just sim yourself and you will see.

just wanting to add to this, maybe it helps to illustrate it better:
