It's not optimal play. Optimal DPS equals optimal threat, too. Increasing your mana is all nice and dandy, except mana issues don't really occur if you're managing them using Blood Price, Syphon Strike, Blood Weapon and Sole Survivor, which is proper usage.

For any decent Dark Knight, mana issues aren't existing. TP issues are.
