The reason for the higher mana usage is because there was a stun and push back to the spells. Wizards wouldn't use this spell line due to the amount of mana and stunning of the targets during quadding. Even SoE had a running joke at how bad the spell line sucked due to the mana usage.
It also only hit 4 targets. If you were within range of your target, it will hit you and 3 mobs. It's the one aoe line outside Rains that did this. It's another reason why no one ever used the spell line.
