I can’t think of any situation I’ve ever been in where 20 more wisdom would have been a game changer. I’ve still managed to tank Kunark raid targets with him, tank ToV trash clears, and done every difficult group encounter I can think of as a tank without breaking a sweat.
If a knight is consistently in a position where they are running so out of mana that a pool 20 int/wis worth would provide a game changing benefit, they and those they are with are doing something terribly wrong.
Even then, that extra mana pool is only good until you use it.
Having a Narandi crown, shawl, and mind buffs is really the only thing that counts.

I used to think this was true. Mana regen or bust, ignore max mana. But I didn't find it to be true when playing my SK.
With about 2k mana my troll could usually go at around 90 minutes before needing a med break. This is because you're balancing health with mana utilizing regen, epic procs, clickies, fear kiting etc. SKs are all about the balancing act.
Having another 200 mana would have let me go another 10 minutes or so without needing a med break. I find that to be pretty significant. I went STA and it literally did nothing for me. I'd regen that in between pulls so it really didn't change my killing power. STA is all about cheal chains and having a little more aoe survivability. Which for tanking group/raid stuff is good as I mentioned. But most SKs like to solo a lot, the class is designed perfectly to do so. And I just found little use for Stamina.
