It is an Assassin's primary attribute, this means only players who picked Assassin as their primary profession have access to this attribute and can spend attribute points to increase the attribute rank.

General Description
Critical Strikes are important to an Assassin both offensively and defensively. Several Assassin skills only act when a critical strike is struck: both offensive skills, such as Sharpen Daggers, or defensive ones, such as Way of Perfection. Critical Strikes allow an Assassin to strike down an enemy caster quickly, so that a swift return to safety is possible.
