This doubly goes now for shb where we only have 10k mana at any given moment. As a former healer mentor once told me: anyone can be a good healer. Not everyone can be an efficient healer. The distinction didn't make much sense to me at first but it became much, much more apparent later.
MP requirements haven't changed though. Even before ShB MP costs were just a percentage of your total MP. The only thing that's changed is the maximum value. Plus Lucid Dreaming is now on a 60 second CD so you don't need to be as conservative about your casting.
