Total mana pool is still useful while leveling. Feign Death costs mana. Having extra mana means you can spend more mana before you get down to your last 200 or so, which you would want to save for Feign Death attempts. Since OP is going Iksar, they are also using more mana because they won't have access to Blood Ember Clickies.
STR is really easy to get with EC gear. If this was OP's first character, or an SSF character, STR would be a good option. OP has multiple level 60 characters, so they aren't going to be hurting for cash. INT is still better for OP.

If you're soloing something that takes your entire mana bar while leveling you're doing it wrong, and max mana is only going to come into play during leveling in fringe cases. Strength/STA is going to help an iksar all day every day until the very tip top raid gear that, statistically, OP will never see. I doubt he's going to be capping those stats on an iksar with droppables.
Again, INT does absolutely nothing to help with the fact that OP is going to be using more mana unless he's spiking from 100 to 0 which should be quite rare
Like, 90% chance this dude just ends up being a lvl 41 iksar SK with 142 STR, 158 STA, and all his points in INT lol. Long, long ago somebody compiled a distribution of all the classes at various levels over a long period of time. Something like 80% of all hybrids abandoned their class in the 40's/low 50's, far higher than other classes. When the reality of what the class is sets in, and the breezy leveling experience tapers off, very few stick with it. Meanwhile he's gonna be encumbered all day and killing more slowly because he went INT for the very specific situation of being 60, raid buffed, and raid geared. Cmon
Go int on ogres/trolls, not iksar unless maybe you're specifically leveling the class for high end raiding-- in which case, what are you thinking being an iksar?
