That's also not counting the faster Malefic IIs that you're also throwing out. Spell Speed reduces all of your spell cooldowns, not just your healing.

I was told once that DPSing as a healer is required, and having Spell Speed increases your DPS by about 100 on average (a la caster DPS)~
If you start with a punchline, avoid looking like a fool afterwards.
"2400DPS"... but not per second!

"Having SpSp increases your DPS by about 100 on average", well, again, a very meaningful statement.
