Spell Speed will affect AoE situations more than it will Single Target situations. Mostly because Summoner Direct Damage attacks seriously depreciate per target. And with Garuda you use a lot more DoT power. A 10 target spread you can catch all in one shot with Bane, its not as easy with the other AoEs.

So it really depends on what you play mostly. If you're doing a lot of AoEs on large mob spreads its probably worth it to you, but if you're just mostly doing single target bosses it probably won't be.
This is not true, crit will make you do more aoe damage, because as said earlier the effect of spell speed on dots is so small that crit is more powerful still. Also more crit will make all of your ogcd damage more powerful such as bahamut and painflare and phoenix which is again more valuable
