Crit is the strongest secondary stat for AST, as it was before this patch as well, now it just got even boosted because of the proc change. Determination is likely to be a bigger increase for AST and WHM than Spellspeed (at least Det boosts WHM regens more than SS). I wrote about the stats in detail in this post.
So Crit is definitely the most important sub stat for AST, then probably Det > SS. And of course amount of Pie you'll need for a comfortable amount of MP (since I don't do any difficult content on AST I won't comment on that) and perhaps ACC for raid DPS.

I'm still a little unhappy that AST got buffed so much. They were really unnecessary.

I beg to differ. They were the perfect reward for those who stuck through the job when it was at its worst.
White mages still have fat healing, diverse healing, and ridiculously strong AoE. Scholars are still Scholars.
