But Spell Speed. I don't fully understand a WHM melding spell speed over crit or det.
Can some of the WHM mains or Healer mains in general have some thoughts/examples on how and why they should meld more spell speed on a WHM? Is it REALLY that good for dps/uptime? Is it REALLY worth the lost in potencies.

Any and all feedback would be appreciated
It has the potential to give you more DPS, but it's very specific and hard to generalize. Spell speed has the additional disadvantage of making you use more MP.

Why would a WHM meld spell speed?
Picture this scenario: You're optimizing Leviathan and playing perfectly, with no GCD delay. You reach Maelstrom and your Glare is interrupted at 1/2 of its cast time. Melding some spell speed here can give you an extra Glare.

Or maybe they just like to go fast.

In short, no, it's not worth it. We're talking sub 1% differences here.
