So I decided to test his theory, and found he was right in practice. Even with all my points in Peity, I have no issues keeping people healed, and even fewer MP issues. A lot of WHMs seem stuck on Mind only for their stats, which limits their MP majorly. I can understand this if they're undergeared and want to boost their heals. But if you're overgeared for most content except perhaps expert roulette dungeons, which I am on my WHM, then all points in Piety works just fine.
The problem with blowing stat points on PIE is that healers have a wide selection of PIE-loaded gear, and you only need so much MP. The loss of 30 MND won't disable a good WHM, but +30 PIE on top of what's granted by gear also won't really benefit one since exceeding 5k with gear alone is easy. I'd take the bit of extra healing and DPS power over the MP bloat.
