Yes, 5 times. It's a 50% proc, and can proc on each missile volley. There are five volleys.
Scorch, Fireball, and Frostbolt can all expect to receive 74 * 0.5 = 37 mana per cast on average. Arcane Missiles can expect to receive 74 * 0.5 * 5 = 185 mana per cast on average. |
Sure, per cast. But measuring mana per cast is the wrong metric. You want to measure how much mana you get back per unit time. Specifically, you want expected mana back per second. |
I suppose it depends on what you're calculating. If I'm calculating DPS and DPM, I divide the damage dealt per cast by the cast time + latency, and I divide the damage dealt per cast by the mana cost per cast. In this case, the per-cast mana return is exactly what I want.
