I thought MP management was a huge factor in learning WHM back in 2.x, and that's now relatable to AST only. Ewer is a very weak MP regen, and usually not even worth using unless you're in a very dire situation.
WHM has been an interesting journey in Heavensward. Right around level 57, it felt like I was healing with squirt gun in a drought. Even going back to say, Brayflox (normal/story mode in the level 30s), my heals feel more powerful and my MP pool less tiny. This kind of continued with the subsequent journey to i145 gear. It got better at i190, but I still had to pay attention.

Now, decked out in i210...even in a fight like Thordan EX... I just don't have to pay attention to my MP at all (unless I'm raising a lot of people), other than remembering to pop shroud now and then. It's almost like going from the i70 days at the beginning of ARR to AIW/dreadwyrm at the end in a single raid cycle. I suspect it's a combination of passive regen from piety and Assize scaling off MP total.

In any case, having taken both AST and WHM to A3S, it's definitely the former I have to be careful with my MP on.
