Original Post:
ok, if you were doing nothing but casting HL for, lets say a 6 min fight such as algalon:

holy light base cost is 1274 mana

mana returned from HL crit = 0.3*1274 = 382.2
so 1% crit is worth 3.8 mana.

my holy lights cast in about 1.35 secodns

so the mp5 equiv value of 1% crit is 3.8 * (5/1.35) = 14.1

so your 8% crit is worth 112.8 mp5, or 8121 mana in a 6 min fight in its best case scenario. In reality you are not chaining HL for 6 mins as you have other things to use your GCDs on, and ofc casting flash, so its much more likely to be giving you back about 4-6k mana

give 51/20 a shot, esp if you aint going oom, you may well be surprised how little your mana is effected, for the much larger gains mentioned above
