Spell Speed increases the damage done by DoT spells. Fey Wind and the Arrow card DO NOT increase Spell Speed (and therefore SMN's dot damage) but rather Attack Speed. Attack Speed is a new terminology introduced in Heavensward and it means that cast times are reduced, the GCD is reduced and auto attack frequency is increased. Fey Wind and Arrow are not good buffs for SMN but that says nothing about the viability of Spell Speed as a secondary stat nor its weighting relative to the other stats.
