The numbers in your post are out of whack.

Here's some math to help you decide. The HP to mana ratio for Arch Lich is 0.646. An Iksar sitting gets 12 hp a tick, or 2 per second, which translates to 1.292 mana per second.
Devouring Darkness costs 400 mana. In 310 seconds, or about every 5 minutes, an Iksar gets to cast an extra Devouring Darkness. If you can live knowing that you will be able to cast one less Devouring Darkness every five minutes as a dark elf, you absolutely should keep your current character; otherwise reroll.

Arch lich is 1:1 (20 lost 20 gained)
Demi Lich is 1:0.646 (48 lost 31 gained)
A sitting iksar gets 18 (not 12)
Regardless, you're thinking about this the wrong way.
Standing at 60 in Demi lich a non-iksar loses 44 hp a tick. Iksar loses 36. Non iksar will lose health and need to vexing in 2.27 minutes. Iksar in 2.78 mins.
Sitting at 60 in Demi lich a non-iksar loses 41 hp a tick. Iksar loses 30. Non iksar will lose health and need to vexing in 2.43 minutes. Iksar in 3.33 mins.
Standing at 60 in ARCH lich a non-iksar loses 16 hp a tick. Iksar loses 8. Non iksar will lose health and need to vexing in 6.25 minutes. Iksar in 12.5 mins.
Sitting at 60 in ARCH lich a non-iksar loses 13 hp a tick. Iksar loses 2. Non iksar will lose health and need to vexing in 7.69 minutes. Iksar in 50 mins.
------
Standing at 51 in Lich a non-iksar loses 20 hp a tick. Iksar loses 16. Non iksar will lose health and need to bond of death in 3.6 minutes. Iksar in 4.5 mins.
Sitting at 51 in Lich a non-iksar loses 17 hp a tick. Iksar loses 10. Non iksar will lose health and need to bond of death in 4.23 minutes. Iksar in 7.2 mins.
------
Standing at 56 in Lich a non-iksar loses 19 hp a tick. Iksar loses 12. Non iksar will lose health and need to bond of death in 3.79 minutes. Iksar in 7.2 mins.
Sitting at 56 in Lich a non-iksar loses 16 hp a tick. Iksar loses 6. Non iksar will lose health and need to bond of death in 4.5 minutes. Iksar in 12 mins.
Recap for sitting:
At 60 in Demi lich non iksar has to tap 37% more often.
At 60 in Arch lich non iksar has to tap 650% more often.
At 56 in Lich non iksar has to tap 267% more often.
At 51 in Lich non iksar has to tap 170% more often.
As has been mentioned multiple times, none of this is so game breaking that a non iksar necromancer can't function ... but the difference is quite huge.
