I don't actually have a Blue Dragon card so the calculations are pure theorycraft from my perspective. I think the main difference between my math and yours is that I used the Spirit contribution (listed under the tooltip for Spirit) instead of the "while not casting" mana regen number, which is the sum of the Spirit contribution and the amount of pure mp5 on your gear. The reason for this is that I don't think the Blue Dragon card affects your pure mp5-based regen at all, it just allows 100% of your Spirit-based regen to work. My character screen says the Spirit contribution is 285 mp5, and since I have 120 pure mp5 on my gear my mana regen number is 405 while not casting. Since the proc lasts 15 seconds and my Spirit-based regen is 285 mp5, this would indicate that it provides 285 * 3 = 885 mana per proc.
I'm not sure if Intensity works while the Card is proccing, but to be conservative I made the guess that it doesn't (I don't actually have the Card to test it). If this is the case the proc also causes you to lose out on 285 * 0.3 * 3 = 257 mana from Intensity, bringing the value to 885 - 257 = 628 mana per proc with the amount of Spirit I have.
Even if my assumption about Intensity is wrong and you do in fact get 130% Spirit regen when the Card procs, I would be really surprised if it worked off your total mana-regen and not just your Spirit contribution. This all can be determined conclusively if someone with the card posts their values for Spirit, "while not casting" mana regen, and "while casting" mana regen both while the proc is active and without the proc.
