Is there possibly any other class where either increasing their HP regen, or increasing their ability to get mana would not be beneficial. Hell, it would be beneficial for a monk, but they just can't wear the bp. What other classes could possibly not want one of those items, provided they could use it?
No benefit from a manastone: monk, bard, rogue, warrior
Limited usefulness: necro, shaman, or anyone soloing that can’t regen their own hitpoints. What’s the point of filling up your manapool at the cost of your hitpoints if your all alone and can get killed in 1 random hit afterwards.
So basically you want to be in a group or else you end up bandaging yourself of sitting to heal instead of just sitting to med like all those thousand of players did back in 1999.

No benefit from Rubicite Breastplate: All the classes that can’t wear them, any tank past the late 20’s since they can’t solo anymore and need to be in groups. I might exclude shadowknights since they can still fear-kite.

Rubi is great for twinking alts, sure, just like fungi will be. It’s not essential by any stretch of the imagination and completely useless if you are a class that’s dependant on being in a group. If the extra 3hp a tic was so damn important then every person rolling up a warrior or shadowknight by this logic would select troll as their race. Tanks need to concentrate on absorbing as much damage as possible, not trying to heal themselves for 3 hitpoints per 4 seconds.

I dare say that if you feel like you NEED either of these items to play then your doing something wrong.
