Interested in calculating the contribution of 1% hit prior to the cap (make distinction if PvE and PvP are different), as well as after.
Same deal with crit.

Could anyone help? Thank you in advane.

For warriors its ~8-12AP for 1 hit(when hit soft cap) and ~12-14AP for 1 hit(if your yellow still can miss), ~15AP for 1 crit, but you shouldnt forgot about crit cap and rage/sec, since w/o +hit at all you're getting 0 rage sometimes because of too much misses.

But in general, all phys dps classes crit>hit,
and hit>crit for all casters.

Hit is actually very, very slightly worse than crit for warlocks (because of improved shadowbolt talent), but there's no opportunities for you to meaningfully exercise that information. Caster gear in this game is incredibly linear, it's perfectly reasonable to treat crit and hit as equivalent, except hit can be capped and does basically nothing in pvp after the first few %.

Crit probably ends up being better for fire mages (during AQ40+) on the basis of them reaching the hit cap very easily, but I haven't crunched the numbers on that, so I can't say.

For rogue AP, it depends if you're dagger or sword, and it depends if you're horde or alliance. You can check out some estimates here: https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=5412

It depends on your current level of ap, but a rough estimate would be 20ap for 1 crit post cap and 15ap for 1 hit post cap in pre raid/mc gear without buffs.
