Mana from LoH, worth asking for?

I think this is the first instance that I've ever heard someone ask for LoH for the MANA return. usually, we use LoH for the enormous healing, which many tanks know is their safety line should the healers bite the dust.
While I don't think it's an outlandish request, I do think that it would probably be more efficient for you to get a few ticks of your OO5SR mana (shouldn't take you more than 15 seconds) while your tank knows to LoH himself if he needs the healing. The KT tank doesn't take all that much damage either unless someone gets MC'd.
I guess you COULD ask your paladins, but I don't know how they would take it. I would recommend posting this on the Paladin forums to see their responses. But ask your tanks if that's something they wouldn't mind doing for you. They might not care at all!

Yeah I suspected that would be the case. I play a Prot Pally and I know that's how I'd feel. :-)

At first glance, I would have simply said "have them use it on themselves" but I also don't know how much mana is gained from LoH, so maybe that mana in your hands could top them off three times?

It's a
small chunk
of mana that you get back. Is that enough to top off the tank? Well, let's say you have a tank with 40k HP on him, and you get back your 1950 mana.
That's enough to cast ONE greater heal, which is at 36% of your base mana. You might also be able to squeeze in an additional flash heal... So let's say you do a massive 28k heal on the guy 'cause he's super low on HP and then you pop an 8k Flash heal on him. You're close to topping him off. Except now you've thrown away tons of your mana and you're back at square one where you're OOM. It would have probably have been better for the pally to pop his LoH on himself, fully top off and give YOU that extra 10 seconds to sit and bask in your OO5SR regen time to get back, what 1500-2000 Mana (depending on gear).
If you have an Inner Focus, you can get even more out of it if you time your spells properly, but even still, we're not seeing an enormous difference between you healing him with that mana and him healing himself, except that you're removing yourself from some additional and potentially valuable healing that could be done.

Silly question here.... but..... did you drink a potion?
I run into alot of people who cast off potions anymore since they can 'only' be used once during a fight.... /shrug

Something that isn't really under your control for the KT fight is his
Detonate Mana
spell. If cast on you several times during the fight there is really nothing you can do. You may be geared enough and just unfortunate.
