Let's say you're uncomfortable about canning below 40%, and also ignoring hp regen.
And let's consider a shaman who's highly built around HP gear and has about 2000 HP. 40% of 2000 = can't go below 800 HP. We have another shaman who focuses on Wis gear and he has about 1500 HP. 40% of 1500 is 600 HP.
They both start canning for mana. 48 seconds later (18 cannis), shaman 2 is at 40% HP and must stop. He regained approximately 430 mana.
Shaman 1 continues to canni for 16.5 seconds longer than shaman 2, or 6 additional cannis. He's now at 40% HP and regained approximately 575 mana.
So please explain, how does having more HP not assist with mana regen?

Because it will take you more time to make up that extra HP you lost, so overall, doesn't make you regain your HP/Mana any faster. In a situation where you're just soloing things one after another, you care about minimizing the amount of time between pulls, which means maximizing your AC (to lower damage taken, and by extension time spent healing) and regen. Having a higher HP or mana pool will not affect the amount of time between pulls in the long run; it will just maybe give you a little bonus at the very beginning when you arrive at your destination with full HP and mana after having been sitting in EC for a while or whatnot. Having a higher HP or mana pull does help you take down tougher pulls, so if you're going after a single very tough thing rather than an indefinite series of not-that-tough things, yeah, you'll want a large HP/mana pool. Otherwise? It's about minimizing the amount of time between pulls.
