The disease line of DoTs are mana efficient, but they're also long lasting, so make sure they fully tick out.

Do you have a Fungi on your SK?

If you find yourself lower on HP than on Mana for the duration of your fighting, then yeah, probably a good idea to toss in a Heart Flutter. But cast it at the beginning of the fight.
