Maximum mana almost never means anything. Aside from raiding clerics and quad-kiting wizards/druids, there's almost never a situation where a few hundred extra to the depth of your mana pool would have made any difference. Either you're not outspending your regeneration, in which case it doesn't matter; or you are outspending your regeneration, in which case you never sit at full mana anyway and the ultimate maximum is irrelevant. As a hybrid, there will practically never be a situation where you go from full mana to OOM in one single fight and would have benefitted so much from even more mana that you'd have traded, say, HP or resists for it. The game just doesn't generally work that way. The size of one's mana pool only matters when you need a full mana bar for a single encounter and are fucked if you run out before it's over. That's basically just clerics in a CH chain, and quad-kiters.
