That said, Purified is better from a guild standpoint as there is a great demand for Crimson Spinels and gemming Purified saves up the Crimson Spinels for others.

There are exceptions (eg. in your helm it's a 4 heal for 5 spirit tradeoff). Also, your discussion assumes self-innervate. There's value in being able to give away your innervate. I still say go with Crimson Spinels except for the helm, but there's room for argument. And as for the "guild standpoint," that's what badges are for.
