Guild Wars 2

Just curious which might be better for a thief. For example, is there a certain threshold for a stat(s) that one may consider the one consumable over another?

It depends on your build of course, specifically on how much power and critical damage you carry, so in a way yes, there is a threshold.

For example, lets say you have 50critical damage, meaning your crits do 200% damage. To increase dps by 1% at 50 crit damage, you either need 1% more crit chance, which is 21 precision, or power equal to 1% of your current power. So if you don’t use might stacks (since they add power), power> precision when power is less than 2100, and precision>power when power is over 2100. Again, this is at 50 crit damage, so you’d have to do some simple number crunching at different amounts.
