I don’t think it’s going to change how most people gear.

As a casual or semi-casual you will shoot for mana and have marginal hps.
With some BiS or near BiS hps pick up in a huge way. The bottleneck is the quality gear, not so much the strategy.

A mage calling for spots, twitches, and bards can effectively coth forever. If you are looking to maximize your mana without any help from anyone, farm some Mystic Cloak’s and Serpent Blood potions. I think having SoW pots, DA stuff, and planning ahead will get most people to about 95% the mage raid capacity. Its part of the reason the class is great.

You're not wrong, I'm just thinking beyond all that. On green when I still raided, I spent hours and hours clicking the robe and wondering how to optimize my character.
