Staff of the Four 800 dmg rune + Manastone. about 14 clicks of the manastone per port without delving into your HP. I guess you just never saw it on your server.

It's definitely a great farming tool with the wizard epic - i plan on using that very combo. But it's not "the best item" or "the best combo" in the game.
Think of it this way:
150 mana to gate to any classic location
Zone time = 5-20 seconds
Cast epic (15 second cast time)
Stone down the rune (~5-10 seconds) = 280 mana
x 10 = 2800 mana in roughly 200-250 seconds
Gate back - 70 mana
Zone time = 5-20 seconds
So, we're looking at roughly 4-5 minutes for a full mana bar. Very cool for places you can safely bind or are close to port locations for farming/etc. But it's limited to instances where porting out and coming back is viable - and that's limited in terms of group or raid experiences.
Admittedly, awesome for old-world junk where you don't even need to port out...
I still think Fungi tunic on a shaman is better.
Edit: Yeah I lowballed the max mana an epiced wizard should have - probably takes more time than that, but still better than 8-10 minute med times
