Most of the mages I know, are NOT going to replace all their stuff with MP5. They are still doing SP overall. (Besides you know, the typical spirit gear.)

I wouldn't *exactly* know why mages need MP5, since they have Mana Gems, Evocation, and mana pots.
But, I don't play a mage, so who exactly knows! ^_^

Hope this helps.

Yeh, I would guess that why the hell would any spell class would need mp5 except healers. Healers need mp5 to regenerate their mana in combat and they are the only spec that need mp5. Mages can also take haste to speed up the casting time of spells but you don't really need to stack this. Mages should stack SP more than anything with intellect. This has always been the rule and will continue to be the rule with mages and warlocks and shadow priests and elecmental shaman's, etc.

rawr is evaluating mp5 as a higher value than spellpower and i'm a mage! any ideas?

Point for point MP5 IS more valuable. Let's look at gems for example: Every single gem has the same item value associated with it (meaning that each gem is roughly worth the same as far as the game is concerned). Looking up a pair of epic gems, you'll notice that the mp5 one is 8mp5 while the spell power one is 23 spell power. As you can see you get roughly 3 times the amount of spell power per item point compared to the amount of mp5. This means while mp5 is less valuable overall it's stat valuation per point is going to be higher than spell power per point.

If rawr is telling you that 8 mp5 is worth more than 23 spell power then you have an issue.

Think Rawr has an option for fight duration. If a fight is overly long, and you're using too much mana per second, and would've been empty long before the end, MP5 will result in more damage.
