By your argumentation, T2.5 should also have spell crit/hit besides spell power to make Arcane Shot even a bit effective, if Arcane Shot and Serpent Sting were dependent from spell crit/hit.
And a pre-Tbc or TBC video doesn't prove anything, because there Arcane Shot got a change and it scaled with the hunter's AP.
Arcane Shot and Serpent Sting are spells. Arcane and Nature. They are not affected by hunter's physical crit or hit.
Stop claiming things you don't have proof of. Show us please 1.12.1 (because that is the version all our talents/skills are at) video material where Arcane Shot and Serpent Sting were affected by spell hit/crit. You won't find anything.
f1rezzz has posted already a number of old and really popular hunter videos from vanilla (viewtopic.php?f=38&t=11756&start=20#p141488, first link Ranger, second Jezek).
Since I only can watch them by youtube proxy, quality is a mess. But still here is the proof from each Ranger and Jezek video. If you don't need proxy, you will have much better quality and go check it:
Ranger wears T3/R12/13 gear and he crits with Arcane Shot (471 dmg) in a duel at 2:26. You can find more occasions in the video where he hits other targets with same amount of damage:

Jezek wears full R12/13 afaik, at 10:34 he hits a hunter with 471 crit dmg:

Both crit with 471 damage without a single spell hit/crit/sp gear on. Tell me, how could they do this?
