Brutallus - Even as a slash healer I heal the MT during downtime to keep the armor buff up as well as relaying totems to avoid needing to/letting them fall during heavy damage periods. Due to the cooldown and channel time it's probably the last mana timer I'd use meaning you'd have to delay it's use until well into the fight.
Felmyst - I am almost full mana every air phase. You get so much regen time while she's in the air, and trying to devote a channel while lasers are going sounds like a poor idea to me.
Twins - Any number of things could go wrong here. You could need to reset your debuffs, get images on you, or get conflag breaking your channel and hurting the regen the trinket provides.
M'uru - The transition is when I get into my position, relay totems, and get peopled topped off. Throwing in a channel on top of that won't work, grats your regen is killed after 1 negative energy. Not to mention fight length and usage, you'll get 1 use out of the trinket on a decent length fight. We kill him in 6.5 minutes(which I would consider fast) and even at that length you're looking at 2000/390*20=25/5 with so many x factors I can't see any reason to use it over alch stone.
So much can happen in WoW in 8 seconds, and even with my haste % I still wouldn't brave that trinket. I'll stick to my passive mana on demand/regen trinkets and avoid the risk of losing 8 seconds of combat or random target abilities breaking the channel.

To be honest your probably correct about just sticking with alchemist stone and memento, however I still believe the trinket is easily usable at all the points I suggested (possibly due to the strats my guild uses over yours). Caution needs to be taken when using it of course, but if shit does happen you can always cancel the channel (In which case your better sticking with the other trinkets). We also kill muru a lot faster then that last weeks kill was 5.5 minutes, I don't even get time to tide twice.
I guess I should stop worrying about it anyways since I never have mana problems even without a spriest.
