    Healers are in a unique place when it comes to stat builds. Whereas DPS has the distinct notion of "every bit of DPS counts", HPS is actually rather irrelevant. The base potency of healing skills is so high that unless you're vastly undergeared, you'll be healing for enough per spell and chain casting heals is generally the wrong thing to do.

    What this means is that aside from Piety, which I consider to be a Primary Stat, the Secondary Stats literally do not matter. I mean this in the sense that all content is not only completely possible if a healer had 0 Crit, Det, or Spell Speed on their gear, the absence of the stats wouldn't make the encounters much harder, if at all.

    Thus, the best healer build is simply Piety(until you're comfortable) > Whatever you like best. All possible builds, aside from having too little MP, can not only do all of the game's content, but do it well.
