And it appears spell hit rating affects wand hit chance in the expected way as well.

Is it certain that AP boosts do not change the damage of the wand, several people have stated that it used to be but that aspect was removed, anyway it could have snuck back in?? Because im having devilish thoughts of respeccing my mage i barely use

edit: i suppose im asking if the normal hits on the wand roughly match the dps of the wand used.

If that's true, then the speed is easily the most important part of wanding back your mana, much more important then stats. The [Consecrated Wand] from a duskwood ally only quest will get your mana back the fastest, as it's the only 1.2 wand in the game (30.8 mana/s). Next best is the [Wand of the Seer]

It might not impact the dps as much but; You don't want to use nature-dmg wands either since they consume stormstrike debuffs. Here is wowheads list of wands:

might it then be beneficial to get the holy damage wand from brd for mana regenerating
Wand of Eternal Light - Items - World of Warcraft
or a frost damage wand such as the Calming Spore Reed
Calming Spore Reed - Items - World of Warcraft

both are fairly quick wands, which as stated earlier ist best for judgement of wisdom regenerating, and should not consume debuffs on the mob whiich could be better utilised otherwise. The Frost damage wand should get a damage bonus from Curse of Elements.

The wands you listed are both pretty slow though.

[Sporeling's Firestick] is a fast wand with fire damage and you don't have to rely on luck to get one.
