SS = 0.094



This statement is totally correct.

2 int + 13 spell SS from HA = 3.2
17 crit + 9 det from Judgement ring = 6.1 (+2.9)

However now we need to focus on that last sentence "As long as you meet the acc req in coil." Any BIS build will be hovering right around the Acc cap, so we still need to figure out a way to make up the lost Acc from the HA ring.
Lets look at some possibilities...

Earrings (swap HA with Sold):
HA = 19 crit + 9 det = 6.6
Sold = 13 det = 3.7 (-2.9)

Boots (swap Sold with HA):
Sold = 25 crit + 18 SS = 7.0
HA = 18 crit = 3.8 (-3.2)
Wris (swap Sold with HA):
Sold = 13 crit + 13 det = 6.4
HA = 13 crit = 2.7 (-3.7)

As you can see, any swap that you make will cancel out the gains from the judgement ring, with the boots or wrist swap actual being worse. Also not for someone like me who values crit more than http://ffxiv.ariyala.com, even the earring swap is worse.
The thing about these stat weighs especially when spell speed comes into focus, is spell speed is largely useless on the class overall and more so atm due to the current bug with Pets & Enhanced Pet Actions.

Every time you cast Ruin 2 (which you should be for maximum DPS rotations prior to using Fester) and Bio (Refreshing a main DoT), Spell speed becomes more and more useless overall.

This makes swapping in some parts on the left side more beneficial for the sake of higher ACC. While the earrings are better on a direct comparison, comparing weighted gains from both, there is virtually no build you can make with those earrings that can't be outdone by another using the evenstar earrings when aiming to satisfy the current Coil Cap.
