Rare skills are only suspicious because per the quote from Caliber, the requirements to unlock them are not given/vague at best. Also, in the Black Swordsman when Kirito says he heals 600 every 10 seconds from Battle Healing although we aren't aware of what his BH skill is. That was ~8 months before the game was cleared, and we do know what skill level his Battle Healing was at when it was cleared: 944. Source is ME2.
He also has more HP later on. So 944 is also nothing. If he has 20,000 HP, 900 every 10 seconds is basically useless in any situation where his life might actually be in danger. Yes, over a very long period of time it could help him out, but having to sit around and wait 4 minutes between battles is the exact opposite of leveling efficiently. You're better off buying lots of potions. It's not like he has any shortage of cash. No serious gamer would recommend a skill like that. At best it would be an unconventional deviation from the standard build. Hardly OP.

edit: There is +hit actually. It's an option for upgrading weapons. Kirito doesn't like it because the feeling of the blade being moved on its own towards the target makes him lose his balance.
