Sorry, I don't agree with your logic.

If all I had to do was predictably plug 1k heals into a tank, then yes, I'd love to heal that 1k up every single time, but that's rarely the case. Often the tank is down more than 1k, in which case a crit saves me time and mana. My regen effects benefit from crit and not spell speed. When a tank that gets hit for a bunch of damage while I'm in mid-cast, a crit can resolve the situation instantly rather than creating a moment of panic.

This isn't to say that speed is worthless, but I think the community overvalues it.

Also I really like PIE. It improves my regen, something WHM struggle with.
