What Crystals should I use for Sniper/Gunslinger?
I am working on leveling up a Sniper, and I want to know what stat my Color Crystals should increase. Out of the 4 Cartel ones (Endurance, Crit Rate, Power, and Expertise), I ruled out Expertise and Endurance. But, I don't know which to pick out of the last 2. Should I go with Power or Crit Rate (for a DPS Sniper/Gunslinger)?

Since 4.0, the below has changed — you always want Crit instead of Power. See
This completely depends on your current and desired stat distribution. Most people stick with Power crystals but there's no reason you can't use fewer Crit mods/enhancements with Crit crystals. This guide has some recommended stat levels (about 150 Crit, rest in Power). The current gear tiers (and most past ones) tend to give a ton of Crit so it often makes sense to take Power where you have the option.
Only hilts/barrels affect Weapon Damage so crystals, like other mods, purely add stats.
