There’s a good table of the weighting of various stats for item levels on wowwiki which seems to back up your conclusion that 1pt of Spirit is equal to one point of crit on gear:

Just found it somewhere, Spirit is 0.702 for demo locks.
Just as a side thought, lots of people raid demo as well

For demo locks the stat weightings are spell power>spirit>haste>crit. This is because of demonic pact scaling with spellpower and spirit being one of the best ways we can get spell power. This also makes the demonic pact buff larger for the rest of the raid maximizing your raid buff contribution.
