Yes, but non-Iksar get 6, so Iksar are only net 12 better.

Non-iksars get 7 ... so iksars are only net 11 better.

Sitting at 60 in Demi lich a non-iksar loses 41 hp a tick. Iksar loses 30. Non iksar will lose health and need to vexing in 2.43 minutes. Iksar in 3.33 mins.

Over 20 minutes a non-iksar will have to vexing 8.23 times - 4073 mana
Over 20 minutes an iksar will have to vexing 6 times - 2970 mana

That's 1103 mana over 20 minutes - 2.12 minutes (10% more of your time) dedicated solely to healing yourself.

This doesn't seem like a lot, but this is also best case scenario. Your taps do damage - yes - but it is not uncommon that much of that damage (and the resultant healing) does not get utilized. Hunting in dangerous places it is not advisable to let yourself end up 1k health in the hole (unless you have raid gear). That potential damage can also frequently get lost with the mob dying before the damage has had a chance to be fully applied. In a realistic scenario you are getting far less than a 1:2 ratio (for both healing and damage output) from the highest level and most efficient spells in the lifetap line.

It adds up monumentally.

Sitting at 56 in Lich a non-iksar loses 16 hp a tick. Iksar loses 6. Non iksar will lose health and need to bond of death in 4.5 minutes. Iksar in 12 mins.

Over 20 minutes a non-iksar will have to bond of death 4.44 times - 1600 mana
Over 20 minutes an iksar will have to bond of death 1.66 times - 600 mana

At 56 that is 1000 mana difference over 20 minutes - 2.5 extra minutes of meditating in lich form just to make up the difference (12.5% of your time).
