I was woundering as a Sith Inq. Sorc. what should i look for in items?With the bouns of power or crit? And any help on what the power really means or does would be extremely helpful

Here is how power and crit works:

 

Power is applied, typically, to bonus damage and/or healing. It is weighted slightly higher than willpower, which is your main stat.

 

Crit on gear or weapons raises your critical % score along with willpower, skills & buffs.

 

Willpower is more important than power, since if affects more stats across the board.

 

Personally, I believe that raising your crit % along with your surge % will benefit you more in the long run, regardless if you are specc'd as a healer or DPS.

 

higher crit % = more crits

 

higher surge % = more damage/healing per crit.

 

While it is nice to have added power from gear/weapons, you should choose crit and surge over power when you have the choice.

 

Also, alacrity is of lesser importance even though it helps channel times.

thank you very much this helps out a lot. :-)

One thing to keep in mind: crit has a serious DR cap of about 30% (around 28% is sufficient) so once you hit that, don't bother with anymore. At that point, go for Surge to about the same % or just stack Power.
