Its april 2016 yet no healer stat weights???

Det only goes on overheal anyway. Spell speed helps us to cast faster and by that, being more reactive on heals. Also, it increases our dots tics, so SS is the way to go. We won't have many secondary stats anyway, since we're maximazing crit.

Spell Speed is a terrible stat, if you've read my previous post at all.

The fact it increases your DoTs and HoTs means nothing as crit and det has similar gains on average while also affecting the rest of your kit. Which spell speed does not. It doesn't even affect abilities such as Assize, Lustrate, Collective Unconsciousness and every other tool listed as an ability.

Spell speed is a terrible HPS increase yes. But Spellspeed decreasing casting time, which increases the speed your target gets your heals (reducing risk), allowing for more human error, movement etc. In raiding where the primary issue is defeating human mistakes, this makes Spellspeed an exceptionally good stat. Quite a bit better than the other stats. I think the only other stat which can trigger true behavior change is crit, which can save you mana (if you recognize when you can skip a cast) or save a tank (or someone else) after mistakes were made. But crit being random is more likely to result in overhealing (unless you have shields). I think its very difficult to argue that Spellspeed is a poor stat in comparison to the other options, unless you operate like a perfect robot and have already completed AS8 and know all the content like clockwork.

I know right. Im not saying we should go full spellspeed. Of course as a sch i'll go crit, but there are some gear ( like the 240 boots/necklace) which do not give any crit. Between det and SS, i still think Ss must be the Best choice
