I wasn't forgetting about the trans bonus Constantius, I just think the T5 bonus is better.
The T2 bonus only applies if you're in the 5SR, so 500/1.6 * .15 = 47 mp/5 only if you're in the 5sr 100% of the time. As it is, I find myself in there only 70% of the time or so (even while solo healing a tank), so I see the benefit as 47 * .7 = 32 mp/5 and at 800 spirit 52 mp/5. Sure, the T5 bonus is only mana when I'm casting greater heal, but lurker's the only fight I can think of at the moment where I'm not using it virtually all of the time (and I would be if I'd assigned myself a tank to heal in phase 2). Thus if I'm casting (to get the benefit of T2) I'm usually casting gheal (getting the benefit of T5).
They nerfed the T2 bonus not because when it was made it was broken (it wasn't, back then it was worth about 25 mp/5 to most people that were starting BWL), but because it scaled too well and they wanted some of the gear in BC to be better. As it is, running ~600 spirit raid buffed, I see the 51.1 mp/5 I actually got back on average during the karathress fight to be quite a bit better than the ~40 mp/5 that the T2 would have worked out to be, and I'm also confident that 50 mp/5 is on the low end of what you can actually get out of it if you try.
