There's playing a game, and then there's working for a game. A LOT of people on this server are fans of the latter, but some of us still remember the reason we're doing all this is to have fun.

If you're the type of person who just wants to have fun, then screw Cann-dancing. I promise that even if you refuse to ever Canni-dance, and instead just do four or five Cannibalizes in a row then sit there and med for a bit like a sane person, you will not miss out on that much mana (just a few med ticks worth, which certainly isn't enough to stop you from defeating most content in this game).

Now of course, if you're in a tense situation where a few more points of mana might save your life (eg. if you or your group mates just pulled a bunch of adds) then yeah Canni-dancing might make a difference, but that sort of circumstance should be < 1% of your overall play time.

In other words, don't give up on your Shaman if you're just here to have fun; give up Canni-dancing instead.
