There are many, myself included, that have tested it and the increase in healing with 30MND is much more notable than any DPS increase with 30INT. 30 less MND or 30 less INT will not break either job or make you gimp in anyway, it will just make you not maximizing. However, I just put everything in VIT for the HP boost so I don't have to use melded Accessories for the HP I need in higher level content.
