By the time you get in your 50s the regen will start largely offsetting the exp penalty if you are soloing.

On paper for a Necro I strongly disagree with this: as you get higher, mobs take much longer to kill, so while yes you'll regen more at higher levels, that regen will result in a minimal reduction of your downtime (and your overall leveling time) ... and I strongly suspect that it won't even come close to making up for the XP penalty.

However, my Necro isn't in his 50's yet, so I can't swear to that (it's certainly true for Shaman though).

Obviously it depends on the player. But even if not soloing, mana efficiency is still a thing in grouping situations. Even in raids it might matter, at least for the shaman. You ever tried being the only shaman in a 30+ raid force? You are going to be casting buffs non-stop.

On the other hand, I very strongly agree with this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And heck, even if you've got a second Shaman on the raid, between buffing, debuffing, and slowing, mana goes fast!
