Spell Speed ain't even all that good for HoTs or DoTs if Dervyi's theorycrafting is to be believed.

Then again, Squeenix never said they'd make Spell Speed godly, just that they'd buff it. And now it's somewhat more impressive, but still rather unimpressive.

So, if you insist on stacking spell speed for whatever reason, don't do it for the sake of making your HoTs better. Do it for the reduced cast times and the faster global cooldown, because the other secondaries will give you a better improvement to your HoTs for lesser amounts required. And even then, with how the damage flow works in XIV, Spell Speed is still a rather unimpressive choice, all things considered.
