Yea, basically your utility spells which are frequently casted are so low mana it’s effectively moot. Even using Enveloping Roots (80m) instead of grasping, ensnare (35m) instead of snare, and flame lick (10m) you will hardly ever struggle, certainly not with POTG or C2. There is a middle root which is like 60m, 1.5m max duration, and a slower cast time if needed.
The spells that cost mana are going to be the ones that bankrupt you. SoN for 20+ rogues, CoTP for everyone who seldom asks after in a full group, or Calefaction if trying to KS fairies on island 1 of Sky.
Greater healing might be the best argument for a mana dump while around a corner waiting for a heal…but it’s a bad hp/mana conversion and is rather horrid for in-fight use. Compared a 1.5 sec pally HoT or a chunky Drain Soul. To each their own but I’ve always priorized Mana/Wis just above AC, both of which are below SV Disease and poison…
