Assassin versus Berserker
I can’t give you calculations, but I’ll put it this way.
Assassin = more crit hits, less crit damage done (less Power, more crit chance)
Berserker = less crit hits, more crit damage done (more Power, less crit chance)
Dependent on your build setup of course, but the way I see it these two stats more or less equal the same damage output overall.

The exception probably comes in if you can build some additional things off crit. Like the guardian aoe might on crit. So the might can make up for the assassins loss in power. However because it has an icd of 1 second, attacking twice a second means that roughly 50% crit chance is all you need to properly take advantage of it.
9 out of 10 situations you will want berserker over assassin. Doesn’t really matter what class if the choice is between those two.

It will depend hugely on what builds you run and which class. For example, assassin makes no sense for a signet warrior, which has precision dribbling out of it’s ears (messy).
I like assassin for my mesmer, necro, ele, guardian, and ranger — but not full sets. Typically one or two of the three types (weapon, armor, trinkets). BTW, assassin stats are unavailable for ascended trinkets. I don’t want to get accustomed to having assassin stats on trinkets for characters I’m going to put ascended trinkets on.
It the same thing in the end but if you are going over 100% critic chance which std buffs like fury and whatever your classes provides i suggest berserker
