The Crit Spell chance is calcultated as

%Crit = 5% (base chance) + Int/100% (inteligence bonus to critic) + (Bonus for talents)

When a spell crits, it adds 50% damage to it's damage. If you have talents that adds bonus the bonus is sum not multiplied.

For example, if you have Elemental Mastery, an elemental spell will give you 150% bonus damage on a critical hit(2.5 times the actually damage).

Given an example: I am Shaman with Elemental Mastery. I use an Earth Shock that deals 500 points of damage. BUt the spell was a critical, my damage then will be

DMG = 500(spell dmg) + 500 * 0.5(normal bonus from a critical) + 500 * 1.0 (bonus from Elemental mastery) => DMG = 1250.

To make calculations simpler, the damage of a a critical spells is

DMG = DMG_ROLLED * (1.5 + (CRIT_DMG_BONUS%)/100)
