And when spamming heals with the level of raid damage going out, mana is not a "moot issue," it is definitely something to consider when you are MT healing on fights that last anywhere from 4 to 7 minutes.
I had a discussion with another Priests about this in my guild. After some time I told him that I will use 20int gems in every piece of gear I have to prove that you just dont need such huge amounts of mana, even on heavy tankdmg encounter like in ToGC25 or Algalon for example. I got over 40k mana raidbuffed with Int only gems and got like ~2700sp.

I spammed heals on the tank like mad and never dropped below 30k mana and no cooldowns like manafiend or smth.

the next week i switched to my usual sp only gems and showed him that i still dont have any manaproblems with just a raidmanapool of ~32k mana but with about ~3400sp in raids.

the difference in healing done was quite huge . now that i got both solace of the defeated versions, mana is smth i just dont have to care about whatever i have to do. i can improve other stats when i feel i need them.

let pallys go for the all int think :P we dont need it
