I would not take this advice. While Black Mage can certainly focus on crit and still be almost as effective as someone who focused on spell speed, a Scholar who focuses on Spell Speed will not be near as effective as someone who focused on crit because they get significant additional benefits from crit. Those 2.25x strength Adloquiums 30% of the time will outweigh being able to cast an extra heal once per minute at 10% crit. A White Mage would arguably get some benefit out of Spell Speed, since they're far more reactive healers, their heals are bigger to begin with so crits usually equal more over healing, and they don't have inherent bonuses based on crits.
