Comparing absolute values is pointless because it's all about the percentages.
While it is true that at level 80 the RDM burns through MP very quickly, we have absolutely no problem doing content. In prolonged fights we have to use Lucid on cool-down, which shouldn't be a problem for anybody. I'm yet to find myself out of mana or even low mana at any of the level 80 content as long as the party isn't a mess.
At most I've raised probably 5-6 times in Titania EX during one practice try and found myself OOM for a couple of seconds idle. But what do you expect? When things go south they go south, RDM mana going down with it. The previous situation where we could just throw out raises everywhere and never had to worry about our mana was overpowered anyways. And we also don't have the burden of Manashift. (Don't get me wrong, I loved being able to transfer mana to the healers. I'm just saying that our mana won't be used for that now.)
I would prefer if the RDM mana consumption is toned down a notch or two, but as it stands I don't have any problems that demand immediate attention. Obviously I won't know about Savage, as we all have to wait and see about that.
