Crit is capped in a lot of BiS options, and it's already proven DH>DET is better for damage, compared to minuscule 1.5+% hp boost. If anything in savage, no one is going to die because of a DET meld and 100 HP, it's going to be the lack of amount of heal skills used.

Second, you need some base DH to even put Direct Hit on-the-board, there is that too since healers have zero base and never put up any unless they get a DPS DH buff from the party. So melding any DH is already a positive.
