Consider that, as you gear, you'll be using less MP to heal. What previously required you to spam Cure II/Medica while sweating bullets you will be able to overcome with CD's and basic heals like Regen and and Cure (also allowing Freecure procs for further management). As your PIE increases with gear, you'll get more MP from passive ticks, extending your MP pool over time and allowing you to Shroud more often in battle before running out.

Try using Shroud early on despite it not giving you 3K mana unless you really need the enmity drop. If you layout a whole encounter and plan ahead, you will be able to find appropriate times to Shroud where you will have it for the next time you will benefit from the full refresh of mana. In addition, I believe Assize gives mana back, and Asylum combined with our already potent HoTs heals for a hefty amount. Utilizing your off-GCD (Divine Seal, Tetragrammaton, Assizem etc.) skills maximizes the amount of healing you do, thus increasing MP per HP efficiencies (saving mana).

Though Raises now cost a hefty amount of mana, we have many tools to keep people alive. Of course mechanic huggers and floor kissers will be a major toll in our mana, but that's when you need to put your foot down and say "Hey! You can't do things when you're dead!"

I'm definitely struggling with mp management in long fights now, something that never used to happen. But it's getting better every day as I learn to adjust. Be sure to use Assize on cooldown, either for dps or heals, doesn't matter which. And I use SoS after I've spent 2k mp, then on cooldown after that.

One thing we desperately need is new mp restore potions. The best ones in game don't even give you enough for one cure anymore.
