Does attack speed modify the animation speed for priests on TERA?

Good Day,

I am figuring out how to build my priest on TERA. I have recently seen a video of a sorcerer with 24% attack speed landing his attacks faster than when he had 0% attack speed. I wondered if the same goes for healers? Would attack speed affect the animation speed of which your character gets heals off? (I am not talking about cast times - but I do notice that you cannot act while your character is animating on his attack or heal)
