How are you handling your Novus upgrade?

HPS is a virtual value with no relevant meaning and that slight difference on MP per heal because you didn't choose Det is so neglictible. Keylas thoughts are the same as mine and they're practically relevant, the faster the heal is out of your crook the better. I'll also go 33 PIE and 41 SS and wanna have a SS / PIE focused build.
Well people will quesion it because some theorycrafters computed that you have a slightly higher HPS with DET instead of SS, which is right. However, HPS is no relevant value. +-75 heal on a cure 2 doesn't make or break the game (otherwise the mistake happened before) but getting a heal out 0.25 faster than normal is a speed increase of roughly 12,5% in case of Cure 1/2. Use your own brain, and question when others pray something as ultimate wisdom.

At the end of the day, there aren't big differences at all it's just a matter of personal taste, as long as all ppl stay alive your job is done, doesn't matter how you reached this goal. And don't forget, the HA Weapon has SS+PIE also

It has nothing to due with HPS for why I don't like SS it is 100% the fact that the .25s I'm saving isn't needed in most cases. Granted the +75 cure from DET isn't needed But it is useful more often than the .25s saved.

So continue gearing for that .1% situations I'll keep gearing for the other 99.9% and should that .1% cause a wipe then you know what I'll just get up and try again. I understand the concept of SS and when I played FFXI I had every piece of gear that lowered my cast/recast as a healer but the fights there were more random. In this game the fights are mostly timed and you can precast the cures which makes SS even less useful because changing your SS can screw up your timings. I know first hand since I just got the HA gloves (from soldiery) and the extra SS has messed up my timings for precasting cure3 to heal right after the damage hits.
