It's hard to tell whether this glyph will be very useful in WotLK, because little is known about how high crit %'s will be at level 80. My first inclination is to think that this is the second best glyph, behind Glyph of Improved Scorch.

Crit is going to be HUGE in Wotlk, especially with the new talents Burnout (mixed with ignite, making crits do a total of 245% of normal damage) and Hot Streak... But who knows if 2% crit will stack up with some of the other glyphs that may come out later...

The spell damage (fully talented) coefficient of a non-critical striking fireball is 146%, vs 461% coefficient for a critical strike chance. (Burnout, Standard Critical Strike Multiplier, and Ignite taken into consideration; 50%, 50%, and 40% respectively).
Now, if we take this and insert it into a spreadsheet, where the standard mage has 2000 spell damage and increasing critical chance intervals of 10%, it shows us the following increase in DPS:
10-20% - > 17.75%
20-30% - > 15.07%
30-40% - > 13.10%
40-50% - > 11.58%
These are all the glyphs released to date, and to date, with the current numbers we will face, and the added 5% critical strike damage on our set bonus, this is infact a good glyph to take in if you want to stick to single target DPS.
If you currently stand @ 25% critical strike chance, adding this glyph would increase your fireball spam DPS by 2.8%.

PS This information is taken under ideal Latency situation (0 MS) and 0 Haste. Haste Affects the spreadsheet in other ways.

This can not be learned by the trainer. It must be learned via the Northrend Inscription Research.
It appears this isn't the only glyph for which this mistake has made.
