People who don't care about min/maxing can continue not to care about secondaries; however, there are actually moments in progression content where a little more DET or CRT sprinkled amongst the party, including the healers, could have turned an oh-so-close wipe into a clear.
That's not quite what I was saying. I'm not saying that people should run around without Secondaries. I was using that phrasing to illustrate why the most common answer to the question of healer secondaries is "personal preference". It's because it doesn't matter one iota what combination of secondaries you chose; everything's going to be just fine. Or, rather, it'll be a player mistake that causes a wipe, not a few stat points.

Some people will want to make their cures hit for as high as possible. Some people will want to be crit machines. Some people want the comfort of the lowest possible cast times. Some people will want a balance. It's all just personal preference, maxing out the element of the class that they deem most important, if they choose one at all.
