RE: Scoundrel/Operative Healer BiS (PvE)
If you're looking for recommendations for the 'burst' healer set, I recommend starting with the following:

Rakata Field Medic in every slot.
Crit Columi Field Medic Ear and Implants

This starts you off with over 500 alacrity, which is too much. You're up against some hard diminishing returns here, and don't have a single point of surge.

Replace the Enhancement (+power/+alac) slot in the Head and Gloves with the Advanced Battle Enhancement 24 (+crit/+surge). You now have 96 surge rating, at which point the stat weights suggest that Cunning becomes a more valuable stat, so slot in +cunning augments into all the Crit Columi accesories.

Result: 1624 cunning, 464 power, 399 alacrity, 182 crit, 96 surge.

400 alacrity is still too far into the diminishing returns region for my taste. I'd want to drop 50 points, and the most logical place is to remove one more enhancement (from the boots, chest, or legs), and again replace it with the Crit/Surge Advanced Battle Enhancement.

Final Stats: Cunning 1624, Power 464, Alacrity 348, Crit 179, Surge 144
These stats give the following weights (normalized to +1 Cunning): Power .97, Crit .76 and Surge .64
