I just spray farted in my chair when I read the underlined. Erudite is the better end game choice because It can reach the Int cap faster, which means I can start focusing +HP items sooners. In the end I will have more HP than an iksar which is what really matters for a necro. Necros HP = Mana & Mana = HP. The extra 12 regen rate does not matter when I have vexing mordina healing me for 122 a tick. But what does matter is the ammount of extra hp I have for Arch Lich to eat & convert into mana to be spent on DPS.

Even if we assume that it is proper for a necro to cap int before focusing on hp items (which I'm doubting it is), how many more hp do you think an erudite will have than a similarly-geared iksar? A couple hundred? That is not going to make up for iksar regen causing you to lose fewer hp every tick you have lich going.
And then of course there will come a point when iksars and erudites both have their int capped even when they are focusing on boosting their hit points, because of how ridiculous velious gear gets.
