Another quick question: Ast secondary stats.

Here's a world-first AST; http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...cter/12172164/

I can't make sense of all of their choices but the left side is similar to what I'd go for, and as you can see, lots of PIE melds, with 1571 PIE. Though they likely don't consider their own gear to be "BIS", rather the best they could get before hoping into the new savage content.

Don't just blindly copy world first players like the above post has just suggested to, especially if you don't know why you're doing it; because I highly doubt you have this kind of gear to warrant it and you aren't clearing content at the level he is.

Not at all what I was suggesting, following along the thread I'd said "think for yourself", this was a point of reference as in "person X Says meld DH or you're bad. Person B says don't meld PIE or you're bad. This top tier healer melds PIE and Crit".

World progression gear sets will almost always initially stress PIE and VIT until the fight is learned. As gear is replaced, they'll begin to reduce the those melds as needed, but the initial set will almost always be filled in a way that allows for the most adaptability. If this had been a raiding tier like Gordias where progression was gated for weeks by gear level and DPS checks then you may have seen them actually change a few pieces as the fight was learned, but Omega was all cleared in 1-2 days so this kind of re-optimization just wasn't needed; there wasn't enough time to worry about it.
