As for scaling, the reason that SS on blm is more highly favoured regardless is because more hits = more chance to crit. More chances to crit => crit being more worth while and more dependable as a high damage modifier. That being said, as det is now 1-1-1 with SS and Crit, SS is still king, crit/det is running in at ROUGHLY the same value. However, given det scales linearly and crit scales with a negative modifier (each point of crit is less effective than previous point), even with SS counteracting that (each SS point is more effective dps wise than the previous) it's something like SS >det >(just) crit, but the math will be out soonish

The SS modifier on damage isn't as high as people think, it's simply there to make the stat not dead on summoners and bards. Look at the mch stat weights, they only value SS at 0.02, as opposed to the 0.14-16 of crit/det.
