Divide that time (in seconds) by 6, multiply by 20, and that is how much mana you would regenerate. Check your list of available spells that use that much mana and how much damage it does.

My suspicion is that you will wish that you sat down and regenerated enough mana to finish it off with a nuke than try to beat the mob to death with all of the misses and low damage hits.
I understand what you are saying. I have myself concluded that simply casting another spell and medding might be more efficient. However, I sometimes do this if the mob is not quite running yet and I am flush with HP but low on mana (and I am still thorned). Plus, once in a while I just want to swing the bat a little.
