All the tanks and healers I know avoid it like the plague when it's on gear.
Myself included as a healer main, I actively look for gear without piety.
This Games simplicity about stats in PvE content has long ago reached a point, where it doesn't even matter what kind of materia we slot in. I mean, i am aware of simple math and that crit/determination is the way to go, but if you look beyond the mere numbers and actually pay close attention how Content is being cleared, you'll see that the damage department is way too high overall from any Job.

What i am telling here is, Content in general is being cleared way too quickly, and materia plays not the biggest role, but a significant part on this .

As for the piety stat, it does have one good thing about it, and that is when you plan on saving a almost completely wiped party all by yourself. It also comes in handy if you run Trials with only one Healer.
