MP Recovery Tools for 5.0 Healer

Currently, all healer have access to Lucid Dreaming to help them recover their MP.
I hope each healer have a more unique way to recover their own MP in 5.0.
For example:

WHM:
Manage their MP by using Shroud of Saint/Lucid Dreaming and Assize.
WHM is the only healer that have access to Shroud of Saint/Lucid Dreaming (return it back to WHM)

SCH:
Recover their MP via Aetherflow and Energy Drain.
Return their Aetherflow recovery value back to HW potency (I think its around 20-25% MP recovery?).
This encourages SCH to always keep their Aetherflow on cooldown (using the remaining stack for Energy Drain or Excogitation).

AST:
Recover their MP via Draw, Sleeve Draw, and Ewer.
It is similar like in PVP when AST use Draw to recover some amount of MP (maybe 10% MP recovery for each draw?).
For Sleeve Draw, the MP recovery maybe around 20% MP?
Ewer is the least dependable one due to RNG.
This will encourage AST to keep using their Card.

Please share also share your Idea here :D

If Lucid Dreaming is back to WHM skills, then maybe AST could get back his Luminous Aether (I miss the animation ^^ ).
They can change their effect to be different from Shroud of Saint.
It could be : MP regen increase by X for 18 sec, where X is the number of cards held in the hand (Spread, Royal Road, Draw, Arcana).

I assume give healers (and casting dps) a new enmity tool? Also, RDM would need a new MP tool in this idea too. SMN and BLM are fine right now with MP management taking out Lucid Dreaming, but would also need a new enmity tool.

I posited reworking Fluid Aura into a party wide MP cost reduction skill for WHM.

So it would be an AURA that makes spells more FLUID to cast. As opposed to a knockback into Bind.

Also would give WHM some party utility.

Since of course, cost reductions are pseudo MP restores by reducing how much MP you expend over the period of time making MP regen relatively higher.

So we have to hold a full Arcana to get maximum mp regeneration? Not sure if it is easy to manage.
Usually, we use our card together with DPS burst phase or ASAP in PUG.
I think it is better for a healer to have a fixed potency of MP regeneration with fixed cooldowns.

Yeah I want each caster to have their own unique way in regenerating MP.
BLM and SMN already have their own unique way to regain their MP.
I am not sure why RDM don't have their own MP recovery tool (100% depend on Lucid Dreaming).
For RDM, maybe we can combine it with Manafication? Or make it like in PVP (you regain some mp every time you finished your mele combo).
Yeah, we need new enmity reducing tool (totally forget this one).

That is a good idea.
It can save everyone (yourself, DPS, and Tank) MP during AOE spamming in a dungeon.
In a raid/alliance, we can use to reduce mp for healing and raise (especially for both healer and RDM/SMN) which is good for progressing.
