Spell speed has no effect on how quick our DoTs tick. It has no (to my knowledge) affect on pets cast speed. It Literally lets us put up our initial dots faster. Then spam ruin faster. Is that really what you intend for summoners to do? Spam ruin. So many caster items are geared for BLM without any consideration to SMN.

I mean at least make our dots tick faster with spell speed so we don't feel like we have a crap-load of a useless stat.

For those who don't know the new ilvl90 books for both PvP (which might be more viable here) and from Extreme primals, has more, you guessed it. Spell speed. So much wasted spell speed, and for what? In most cases, we are swift casting Shadowflare (depending on fight), bio is instant, ruin II is instant, Virus is instant, Eye for an Eye is instant. It literally helps with 3 spells (4 including shadowflare) Ruin, Bio II, Miasma. Sorry I'm not even going to list or consider Tri-fail as a real spell.

Not to mention the changes to Allagan boots to spell speed.
