When it comes to this choice, always go for Determination. Fortunately for PLD, their BiS allows for a decent increase to Crit while still focusing Determination. But future patches might not always be so. The reason I say opt out of crit for other stats when its possible is due to the change to stat formulas in 3.0. 600 Crit roughly equates to a 12% Critical Hit Rate, while 802 Crit only equals 15.5%. And for PLD, that's it. They have no way to increase their CHR past their gear. I'm in no way saying Crit stat is bad for your dps, but when it comes in between stats which scale better, you could throw every stat you have into Crit and probably not push 16% but end up sacrificing other stats.
As for Skill Speed, it scales slightly better while buffing your DoT dmg and timing. And as Warren pointed out, you don't need a ton of it to see the effects. Fortunately, it comes paired with a lot of PLD's crit gear this patch so you can kinda get best of both worlds.
That's fair, and I've had a bad habit of forgetting that 3.0 featured a change to Skillspeed in that it now affects DoT damage courtesy of faster tics. Thanks for the explanation!
...diminishing returns suck.
