But also a point against for those utility spells.

Tough one, I don't know shit I've barely played SK at all just playing theoryquest here.

You've got an ogre shaman and a troll SK what are your thoughts?
I find Mana to be the bottle neck more than anything else. SK's get a lot of ways to heal themselves, so it is usually easier to get HP back instead of mana.

Being able to cast mana free spells saves me a ton of mana, and gives me flexibility when I am running low on Mana. So this usually means I can go longer between med breaks and take more risks.

Now, if you plan on going deep into raiding, you could argue a Soul Defiler basically nullifies a lot of benefit from Blood Ember. So I think you could argue for Iksar if you plan on getting full raid gear and Soul Defiler. But Soul Defiler is pretty rare, so you will be waiting a while.
