OO5SR: [(spirit/4)+13]*2.5
II5SR: OO5SR * 0.15 + OO5SR * 0.05 (pre-2.3)
OO5SR * 0.30 + OO5SR * 0.05 (post-2.3) [with Primal Mooncloth set bonus]
OO5SR * 0.15 (pre-2.3)
OO5SR * 0.30 (post-2.3)
Then add whatever Mp5 you have static on your gear plus consumables to reach your regeneration model.
Example: JoePriest has 500 spirit and 135 Mp5 from gearing. His regen is (pre-2.3):
[(500/4)+13]*2.5 + 135 : 480 Mp5 (OO5SR)
345 * 0.15 + 135 : 187 Mp5 (II5SR)

It's 1 mana per tick (2 seconds) for every 4 points of spirit, not 1 Mp5. You'll need 1.6 Spirit for 1 Mp5. I'm guessing it's just a typo?
I'm also fairly certain the regen model is
OO5SR: [(spirit/4)+12.5]*2.5
If you try that out with your gear you'll find that it's usually a perfect fit. The number 12.5 makes more sense if you think of it as [(spirit+50)/4]*2.5. I was recently looking at gear choices for 2.3 using wowequip and the number 13 just didn't add up, but 12.5 did in every case.
