Shouldn't the mana cost reduction as it relates to less time spent in AotV be factored in with any analysis on the value of resourcefulness?

re:

I ran some tests long after 2.0 came out that showed the 25% critical bonus wasn't being applied at all.

I believe it stopped working when they converted to crit rating.
