    You still can prefer CRIT in general

    Possible combinations:
    CRIT + DH = Perfect
    CRIT + DET = Not bad either
    CRIT + SPD = Ok here we might consider something else but first we should check: Is SPD the major stat? Or is CRIT the major stat?

    If you see CRIT + SPD then what else is available? For casters it's currently most time DH + DET.

    This is my current gear which I considered as BiS for SMN so far. You could avoid further 125 SPD by switching feet.
    We can do some math here (expected dmg multipliers):
    2085 CRIT = 1.116064
    1727 DH = 1.08625
    1498 DET = 1.072
    Overall = 1.29961

    With other feet
    1987 CRIT = 1.109251
    1772 DH = 1.089
    1676 DET = 1.082
    Overall = 1.30703

    So average DMG per Hit would be higher.

    Now we consider SPD
    457 SPD = 1.005
    582 SPD = 1.013

    So if we multiply with speed:
    CRIT Feet: 1.013 * 1.29961 = 1.31650493
    Other Feet: 1.005 * 1.30703 = 1.31356515

    Now it depends on how much SPD affects pets. Do they gain dmg by SPD? If pet is not affected by SPD at all, then CRIT Feet are a dmg loss because 30% of caused dmg is not affected by SPD. If pet dmg scales with SPD then only about 10% (Fester) of caused dmg is not affected and the CRIT Feet are a gain vs. the others.

    As we are talking about RDM it is more clear:
    Skills not affected by SPD should be Fleche, Contre Sixte, Corps-A-Corps and Displacement. That's about 20% of dmg done. So SPD only affects 80%.
    According to this we adjust gain by SPD as follows:
    CRIT feet: 1 + 0.013 * 0.8 = 0,0104
    OTHER feet: 1 + 0.005 * 0.8 = 1.004

    Overall:
    CRIT Feet: 1.0104 * 1.29961 = 1.31312594
    Other Feet: 1.004 * 1.30703 = 1.31225812

    So CRIT feet should be better here for RDM.
