Not to mention that DoTs and HoTs cast during PoM still tick every 2s instead of 2.5s even after PoM expires. I don't get the notion of it being useless at all.

That's a first. Never heard of HoTs and DoTs ticking faster due to spell speed (or PoM). Not saying it's wrong, but I am suspect.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
It'd be the first I'd heard it too. Last I checked spell speed increases the damage/healing of HoTs and DoTs, not the tick rate. It's always once every three second server tick. Not only that, but PoM doesn't increase DoT/HoT damage either. It reduces recast by 20%; it's a direct reduction to your GCD, not an increase to spellspeed that would have the same effect.
