Interesting change, if somewhat bizarre. Perhaps this is being done to diminish the flexibility of being able to get OOC and drink in arenas, even if only for a couple of ticks? That's the only rationale I can think of, and even then I'm not sure drinking in arenas was powerful enough to justify changing the mechanic. I guess we shall see how it plays out!

I'm not happy with the change, coming from a PVE perspective. I imagine it's common practice between casters to plop down to drink for a few seconds between each trash pull in instances, or whatever out of combat breaks we get, to ensure that we're able to continue powerpulling. Now, it takes as long as 10 to 15 seconds for you to begin regenerating any real amount of mana.
Also, I'm not 100% sold on this being intended.
YES, I know, it is said that they are changing the way regenerating mana from water works so that it has a 'ramp up' time, however, after playing around on the PTR today for a while, I came across a handful of bizarre things regarding drinking water -- to name a few:
* No amount of mana regenerated from water, over the whole 30 seconds.
* The "Drinking" buff not resetting it's duration when I attempted to eat another manna biscuit at about 5 seconds left (the food buff reset back to 30, the water one refused to, despite me starting to eat at least another 2 biscuits after I noticed it)
Truly, a bizarre change, but it's certainly buggy.
