If you're just making a Necro to farm with, I would suggest you consider going Erudite. You will level faster and have a much larger mana pool wearing equal gear to the Iksar. The added regen is very nice, but the efficiency benefits it brings only come into play over long periods of sustained grinding. I'll re-paste a post I made awhile ago detailing this:
So Iksar is technically the best min/max race, but I think Erudites are a strong second, and definitely first in some aspects. I also think they have the coolest looking GEBs in the game.

I kind of skimmed over your post and it looks like you put a lot of thought into it but possibly didn't take into consideration the soft cap on int that is around 200? You mentioned 1 int = 10 mana but that is only true up to 200. Given the int gear available when you start going planar it is pretty easy to hit the 200 cap. My lvl 14 iksar necro is sitting at 180 int (I think) without dumping starting points into int and with hp rings, mana bracers and empty slots.
The basic idea I have always been told is that any race can max int relatively easily, so secondary stats/racial are important for int casters which is why iksar regen is the be all end all for necro class.
