I recently made an SK and i am only level 5 right now but i have roughly the same mana (a bit less due to the stat mod) that my druid had when he was level 5 a few days ago.
This poses a certain advantage hybrids have over pure casters. When a Necro gets the level 1 life tap they can cast it a few times before being out of mana. when an SK gets the first lifetap they can cast it a shitload of times before being out of mana. Granted this advantage does not make them a better caster in anyway, just something to keep in mind. any pure caster is obviously a better caster than a hybrid.

They did address this on live. Vanilla - Start of Velious, Lifetap spells for Shadowknights had an artificially higher mana cost then for a necromancer. 50+ the costs were the same. A patch in Velious then changed it so the mana costs were the same.
Not that it matters terribly much. That 5 point lifetap is going to take a long time to fill up a level 9 ogre SK with 500 hp.
