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.
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.
