Suggestion: If you want the regen, cast it and also revive and then don't go into a fight for 20 seconds while your mana grows, but you still get the shield benefit for up to 10 seconds. This is how I use it when I am soloing. I just hit 16 and respec'd to move points from this and wither into transference though. It really comes down to playing solo vs in a group, and I think it's more fun in a group, and some levels you have to have a group anyway.
Just my opinion in any case.
