Any consensus on most important stats for WHM/SCH?

While I commend your attitude and awareness that it's your play style that can accommodate a SS WHM, I feel the need to interject and ask.... why?

We can all voice countless scenarios where this stat or that stat looms biggest for better WHM play, but wouldn't static play of the toon itself dictate the higher outcome? Increased regen, medica II's and medica from which we're known for are just the very few examples of reliance healing. Why don't SCH's follow this logic to stack SS too?

I don't think giving the reason that "quicker heals makes better WHM" holds any worthwhile ground, especially since this reasoning holds hands with the excuse "because of derps and twerps, I must build for mistakes". That's backwards planning, not forward thinking.

As a WHM who is in the SS camp, perhaps I can elaborate:
Point 1 vs SS : Everything is scripted, thus SS is not required, meaning DET is better!!
My Counter vs Point 1 : Everything is scripted yes, but IMHO during LEARNING PROCESS, SS will help more than DET in getting cure off during critical moments when you're still unfamiliar with the fight. Now, after wiping countless times, it's programmed into your brain, everything is muscle memory, lets look at two scenarios, where you pug, and where you play with your static:
Scenario 1: With Pugs, SS is better to prepare to quick heal (by 0.12+- sec faster,better than nth) those dummy DPS/tanks that are unaware of the fight.
Scenario 2: With Static, if your static is good, you can even try joke runs (swim suit bla bla etc), which means, it doesn't matter what you choose, SS or DET, you can pass it easily.

Point 2 vs SS : It takes too much points for SS to be of any worth!!
My counter vs Point 2 : Ditto for DET? IIRC, max DET does not even provide 100 (closer to 50 I think?) extra Cure I heal compared to full SS build.

Point 3 vs SS : You need to stand in place and spam Cure for SS to be of any worth, once you move, all your "saved time" is lost!!
My counter vs Point 3 : Main purpose of having higher SS is not to boost your HPS (only idiots use HPS to plan their builds), having SS is to have a "heal me within the next 0.5 sec or I'll die" Cure go through instead of healing your tank's corpse (Benediction anyone?). But but but scripted fights etc etc....(please see point 1 above).

I'll be the first to say that yes, my build is specifically for the derp moments. I spend a lot of time PUGing EX primals for farm, fun and helping out; there's a whole lot of derping going on. Maybe it depends on what you spend your time in game doing, and who you do it with. I spend about 2 hours with my static a week, and I spend about 15-20 hours a week playing. If I only played with a static, I might build DET too.

I'm also not saying I'm going to be on the spell speed wagon for eternity either. Its going to depend entirely how both DET and SS scale. For now, in my opinion, a pure DET build doesn't create a big enough boost to make it significantly better than any other build. Fourty-some HP on a Cure isn't more desirable to me than being able to run halfway through Medica cast and watch it go off anyway. At the point that these two stats start giving more appreciable differences, I'll re-evaluate and build from there.
