Capped critrate is only going to come about via certain means:
1) Champion's Drink, in which case you're probably also using Stalwart's. Loki's is superior because Iga +2 is only adding WSC.
2) 3x crit atmas (say, RR/GH/DD). Personally, I don't use such a setup. However, in such a situation Iga would still win as long as the 23 attack is relevant.
3) Innin. Personally, I don't get too much benefit out of this. I'm either cotanking with Yonin, solo DDing, or the mob spins like a top. On the rare occasions I could get full use out of it, it's almost not worth doing so because the NM dies in less than a minute. However, again, as long as the attack is relevant Iga will win.
RR/GH/Apoc with NIN/WAR, Atheling Mantle, Brutal Earring, and Epona's Ring is a
lot of multihit rounds. 2% more doesn't add much, and Warwolf Belt should be adding at least 3 WSC along with possibly 2.5 attack (small, but a factor).
Thunder Belt is a bit worse than Warwolf (blame DA/TA jacking up the effective fTP), Anguinus Belt is a sidegrade with uncapped pDIF. If accuracy is uncapped, it'll be best. Will probably swap that in to the sample set.

I keep getting confused, it seems like I was reading in many places over the past couple months that STR/DEX is not offering as much or is not nearly as valuable inside Abyssea because of all the DEX from RR and the STR from VV (prio to AoA) or STR/DEX from enhancements with merit abyssites. I thought I had been reading you should focus on Attack on WS for this reason but now I see much more STR/DEX DEX/AGI for Jin/Hi WS sets.
It's best to have a balance of both, unless you're capping pDIF. Just depends on how much you can get in each slot.

Lastly, if you don't have
Byakko's haidate or
usukane hizayoroi, what's a decent substitute? Seems like I can't find any unless it's some really time consuming old content piece =\
tumbler trunks would be the way to go. On that note, probably should have put Usu legs in that set but I may have been considering hitrate with that decision (lol).
