MP management?

Hello.
I am currently sitting at 35 THM and I find myself running out of mp after chain 3/4. I am training on mad anglers and I am using featherfoot and parsimony (on thundara) whenever they are up. Convert takes simply too long to recast and I can rest for simply 30 seconds and be at full mp again. Sanguine rite is also not an option and while it's a very good skill it just doesn't fit in to my regime (as a nuker, not getting hit whilst leveling)
My spell sequence goes like this:
(featherfoot), Blizzard -> stone -> Thunder -> (parsimony) -> Thundara -> Thunder
This guarantees me a kill on them and I won't get hit. The last cast of 'thunder' is usually not needed, but on the level 39 anglers when my thundara simply gets resisted, it is necessary.
So what other ways are there to manage MP? Any gear or food I can use? Or is there simply nothing I can do to manage my mp better?
I personally think THM needs some kind of solo mp management or more tiers of auto-refresh. A Conserve MP trait would be a nice addition possibly (a trait from FFXI) Just something to help the base class out without having to spend a bunch on materia or high-level gear.
