it's not very helpfull to look at these modelled situations, where you say: "if you crit, tank lives, of not, he dies" because in such a sitation, a few points more in haste or mastery wouldn't have made the differance ither.
crit is quite regular throughput gain. as we have only about 30%, the crit occurences can spread quite widely, but even then, it is one of our best throughput stats. But not only when tankhealing, but also when raidhealing crits will often not be wasted (unless the group has lost just enough hp to be topped of by a noncrit PoH, haha) because of the DA bubble, and the fact, that there are quite a few intelligent heals going on, that even out healspikes.
You can also argue similarly whith a haste setup. if there's no situation, where you save the day with a 2.1sec GH, where a 2.2sec GH wouldn't have done the job, then haste build was wasted and thus is unreliable, because you never know in advance, if exactly that situation will occur, where you'r haste will save the day.
sounds weird, but maybe you get the idea.
