How important is crit for your healing

As anon Templar healer how important is crit for healing. Every mmo I have basically direct heals were possible to crit although it has been a long time I can't remember if hot ticks were made to crit. Basically if I'm using a resto staff only since I'm playing as a nb healer, should I put focus on crit? Usually I'll stack sufficient base stats and spellpower so that overall my heals are strong then I start to bring in other stats as my gear improves. Does each tick of a hot have the chance to crit? Also what is a good base crit to shoot for, I was trying for 40% . also all my questions pertain to pve. Thanks

    My templar usually have at least 49% crit chance.
    It's easy because of:

    Base : 10%
    Light armor : 10%
    Major Buff : 10%
    Champion : 12%
    Weapon Enchant : 7%

    In this area you can invest on crit without disrupt other healing stat.

    Not every HoT can crit. Purifying Ritual for example can crit, while Vigor can't.

    See this is where it is confusing, which hots can crit? Does anyone know, can restore staff hots crit?

    From what i've seen all Restoration staff heals can crit.
    I'm not sure about Vigor, as it is a Stamina based heal, and thus i assume it works of weapon crit (of which i have little).

    I personally play in 7/7 heavy armor with a Restoration staff.
    As for my crit:
    Base: 10%
    Major: 10%
    Champion: 12%
    Weapon trait: 6% (Not gold yet).
    Thief mundus stone: 12%

    I personally find the bonuses you get from the mundus stones quite weak. Having the extra crit doesn't really effect my total healing much, besides the fact i crit-heal more often.

    (I wear 7/7 heavy because Spell pen doesn't seem to increase healing done, hence i went for better defense and more healing received).

    Now when u say all staff heals can crit does that mean the initial hit or each tick?
