If any, then ast, maybe even scholars mana regen should get nerfed to a lower level.
I get what you're saying, but I've always been of the opinion that if you need to use Ballad outside of maybe raid progression, something has already gone wrong. Otherwise WHM can heal on fumes even if they Holy their MP down to almost nothing (by which point everything should be dead or dying).

Basically I never want to see Ballad etc. go up unless we need to recover from big mistakes. There's plenty keeping BRD and MCH relevant aside from their MP restoration, and I don't think that simply boosting WHM's MP regeneration is the answer. Mana management doesn't really work as a mechanic without special ways to expend and restore it, like how DRK has to juggle MP-restoring attacks in order to maintain Darkside and to boost specific abilities with additional MP use (Dark Arts).
