Indeed quite possibly high +crit, as you can get enchant similary named "Blasting" on gloves which gives +10 spellcrit (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=33993)
I just want to comment on the use of these boots as an affliction warlock.
I would argue that, for raiding, these boots are better than Frozen Shadoweave Boots. Keep in mind, that I'm talking about SSC/TK raiding. I'm an affliction specced warlock, currently raiding those 2 dungeons, and I've been using both the Boots of Blasting and Frozen Shadoweave Boots.
Let's breakdown the stats:
Boots of Blasting (enchanted with fortitude)
148 armor
37 stamina
25 intellect
18 hit
25 crit
39 dmgFrozen Shadoweave Boots (fortitude, veiled noble topaz, glowing nightseye)
122 armor
33 stamina
9 intellect
7 hit
0 crit
67 shadowdmgDifference (focus on Boots of Blasting)
+ 26 armor
+ 4 stamina
+ 16 intellect
+ 11 hit
+ 25 crit
- 28 shadowdmgNow, I normally would follow spellhit > spelldmg > spellcrit. So, the Boots of Blasting does indeed take away 28 of your shadowdamage, but you gain 11 hit and a decent amount of crit (I also don't believe in completely ignoring crit - even as a diehard affliction lock). Eventhough you have maxed out your +hit on your dots (by placing a few talentpoints in Suppression) it is my experience that you should still work on maxing out hit for your shadowbolts, even if it means losing 28 shadowdamage.
