i may be mistaken since its been a while but i believe that physical mastery holds the same % as tactical just gets adjusted differently (in other words ~120% is a good area). crit sounds like around 25% for both parties as well (~20% is a good area to be in).

edit: i just remember that +to tact mastery effects heals and dmg differently. its easier to stack + to dmg than it is to stack +to heals. thus if you are a healer your gear will be one way and if you are a DPS it should be stacked another.
