No way it's 5%, it's like 2.5ish% tops if you do everything right and get a good kill time.
In theory, some lines do yield a 4% gain, but those are very expensive (need a lot of procs/Xenoglossy/Lucid Dreaming) and you eventually run out of resources to keep using them and need to fall back into weaker lines (that do less than the standard) and then back to standard until you can stockpile resources again.
This isn't aimed at you, more of a general sentiment, but you also definitely don't need the mana tick tracker- you need to be a bit less aggressive at the start, but you can mentally time your ticks fairly well after a while for slower gcds and 75% of the lines don't even need precise tick tracking anyway, esp if Lucid is off cd.
