Someone wanna check my work?
Say I am lvl 60, have 245 Int, and ignore +mana on other items.
Benchmark-no item: 0 Int, +0 Mana, 245 Total Int, 2730 Mana
Runescale Cloak: 3 Int, +0 Mana, 248 Total Int, 2744 Mana
Mystic Cloak: 5 Int, +0 Mana, 250 Total Int, 2753 Mana
Onyx Drakescale Cloak: 0 Int, +35 Mana, 245 Total Int, 2765 Mana
Heiro Cloak: 4 Int, +75 Mana, 249 Total Int, 2823 Mana

That looks right. The idea is basically that above 200 wis/int you should examine straight up +mana items because you might get a better return.
So you don't have to check, here are the values using Deajay's formula (which appears to jive with your empirical evidence)
INT | mana gained from baseline of 200
200 | 0
205 | 23
210 | 46
215 | 69
220 | 93
225 | 116
230 | 139
235 | 163
240 | 186
245 | 209
250 | 232
255 | 256
So basically you get 4 or 5 mana (usually 5) per int point above 200. The variance comes from the truncation of the mana value.
