From levels 20-49 the regen for a sitting Troll & Iksar is 6hp per tick. From my personal experience, I leveled my Iksar using just casting gear from 35-41 off of a two spawn guard tower in West Karana, and from 41-49 off of the Den & Friends camp of dwarves in Butcherblock. Could a Barbarian have done the same camps at the same level range? Absolutely, sure. The issue I was having at the bottom end of the level ranges were resists, and there were some times when the spawns were happening that I'd have to bake off extra mana to compensate. Meanwhile, at the upper end of the level range I could bake off more mana for faster damage to get the mobs dead so that the timer was started sooner, so over time I was having them spawn faster.

There are better camps of course, but they are going to be camped hard (misty thicket guards, dock dwarves). That's why I picked those two camps, and without a question the regen assisted when the camps were hard as well as when they became easy to clear. The regen was probably giving me a return of visible mana of my bar of about a bubble and a half that I otherwise wouldn't have had.

I don't think that any of this refutes the arguments I made for why 1-50 regen bonuses are pretty insignificant, albeit convenient.
