The issue of healing on live is almost never the amount healed. It's the speed at which you land the heals.

Sacrificing your leg slot to a 23% heal Focus versus the typical IH3 20% is a total waste, when you consider the Blob2 legs. The best beneficial spell haste focus in era is 30% on the nightcaller legs, which leads to 2.6s spot heals versus 3.8s spot heals. The next best spell haste is 18% generic on mask (and any priest would want AHR mana pres mask over the generic haste mask, meaning most have just boring 15% spell haste 3 focus). This 0.6s difference in the cast time of your spot heals is the difference between life and death of many tanks and DPS in fights. I guarantee you the 3% healing focus difference is never going to count for shit over your PD cloak or Yael ranged.

Basically. Speed > power for EQ healing almost every time. Prioritize the spell haste focus over the potency of the healing, otherwise you're an idiot who doesn't understand what EQ healing is about.

Come PoP only 2 items replace the Blob2 legs. Fennin Ro Belt and something in PoTime with the same focus (30% beneficial haste focus). But every single priest class gets a raw 25% heal focus on their arms in EP armor allowing you to cover that focus need easily. Not to mention the Xegony ring and Quarm shield focii.

Be smart as a priest. Get blob2 legs or be a shitty priest with slow heals and continue to let DPS die because your heals don't land fast enough.

So my only point with my previous comment was: doesn't this combination of out of era mechanics that hugely favor players and massive amounts of raid gear make all non-raid content trivial? I mean, Daybreak had to give bosses *double* HP and damage or some nonsense just to make the encounters vaguely challenging. But all of the normal XP content does not get this buff, right? So this is how you can rack up 50 AA per hour or clear Vex Thal in 3 hours or whatnot. 95% of the time you're playing on half difficulty.

It's ironic that your post questions my reading comprehension when yours is so bad. I'm not discussing whether or not Phinigel is classic or not, but whether it's ezmode 95% of the time when the Mighty buffs aren't involved. It seems for better balance everything should get them.
