That set also has accuracy on it which is way more useless than alacrity. Also I fundamentally disagree that increased HPS potential, even if it is situational because of energy consumption, is useless for tank healing. Steady, sustained HPS won't help much when the tank takes 2x damage for a few seconds during a special attack or because of multiple crits. The ability to deal with burst damage should not be trivialized. And the majority of our healing comes from our non-instant heal which benefits greatly from alacrity.
