I guess i'm the only one who always has done grinding in viper with a full on rotation? oO
And no, i never go OoM like that, and i hardly ever have more then 5 seconds between mobs so i never get more then 2 maybe 3 ticks of mana regen outside of the 5 second rule...
No, I grind with AotV on but I don't really do full DPS rotation (trinkets and all that). I stay 1:1 and the only time I break it is to toss a Mend Pet on Morris or FD if I'm pulling aggro from Morris (which seems to happen more often now, but I am doing a lot more damage these days).
This gives me at least half mana (usually 2/3rds) in case something goes horribly wrong or I get adds I have to deal with.
With AotH on, I have to stop and chew on a Pod about 3-4 mobs. I don't really lose much time because I send Morris after the next target while I eat. Once I had to get up and fire an arcane because he had the target near death before I'd finished! I guess I couldn't do that trick if I were BM, but then again, if I were BM, I probably wouldn't be going OoM since it's more mana efficient.
