I'd love to see you comment on why you like 40/0/21 vs. 41/0/20 for arenas, perhaps in a different thread!!!
It has been discussed at some length in several threads. It isn't necessary to dig them up though.
First of all, you cannot rely on crits in PvP. While 13%-15% is a huge buff, that is going to be diminished when you're facing opponents stacking resilience. Also, your crits won't hit as hard.
Second, being able to take one of your opponents out immediately at the beginning of an arena match is more or less the only chance you have of winning against a skilled/geared team.
5x LB + 5x NS EMCL + Shock = minimum ~20k damage. Nothing can survive that.
