    Thats a question, I did also think over. All that "what is BiS" talking is based on static benchmarks like on traning puppys or selfhealing for some time without any real fight.

    For example look at T4, the first DN, when it eats all 4 bugs. Beside his autoattack it does something like a cleave. Sometime both hit nearly the same time. Sometime they crit the same time. When this happens (sometimes the next crit pack is not fare away), the pala tank can loose around 6000 HP nearly instant. So whats to do? The tank has to get topped the whole fight. Keeping up Adlo eats to much mana. To keep someone topped, you need heals that will be there for sure. So that can be only done by maxing out the base heal. Skilling to crit will make wipe or win to much based on luck in my eyes. Also crits will be the most time useless overheal.

    Well, yes sometimes the crits can kinda frighten you, but apparently you forget some things.

    1. You are not healing alone and if you can trust the other healer you'll never have problems.
    2. There are some things to reduce incoming damage (e.g.: Virus; Eye for an Eye; Adloq pre-cast, etc.)
    3. Panic-Button-Lustrate will save the day

    Not to mention, that - in my opinion - +100 Heal on Physick (and that is quite high calculated) won't save the tank. Plus I am not running out of mana even if I'm overusing Adloq - which I am to be honest^^.

    On a side note - to answer the one you quoted: I'm critting with Adloq for 1020 (sometimes more sometimes less; never seen a crit below 1k for quite sometime) on a PLD without buffs.
