This weeks Grab Bag is up over on the Camelot Herald, here is one of the questions from the Bag, to read more click here:

Q) What affects hit/miss when using a critical strike style; primary weapon skill level, critical strike skill level, or both?  I ask this because after the last 2 patches (or a bad respec choice), I am missing a lot more than usual using Creeping Death.

A) Neither of these factors will affect outright miss rates, as that is determined by factors like level, to hit bonus on the style and weapon/armor enchantment. Your skill levels for weapon and CS will affect your ability to penetrate defenses such as block, parry and evade.
