Leach dot is also not "horribly inefficient." A 1220 damage dot and 1098 hp heal with a -200 mr modifier for 495 mana is not "inefficient." You aren't looking at it correctly. Even lifetaps are not inefficient when looked at properly.
Iksar regen makes your life easier, but it is not necessary. Anything an iksar necro can do, any necro can do. Sometimes you will just have to be a bit more patient, such as if you have to feign with lower hp and wait to regen before you can get up again due to mobs around you. If someone depends on iksar regen to be a necro then it is a crutch for them. Be what you want and do not listen to nerdy min/maxers.

Other dots at the high end are literally 200-300%+ more efficient.

Even the following DD is more efficient

Undead DD even more so.
Point is every point of mana used lifetapping could be used to put out 2-3x more damage. Taps are only useful when you need the heal. As my first post illustrates - at 58 an iksar necro has to tap back health 3x less. That 1000 less mana spent could be used to put out 3000+ more damage.
