You should be fine really.

I have about 30 less mp5 than you, and I manage to be fine on mana. Just make sure you're keeping water shield up at all times, as you probably know crits use orbs of your water shield, so if you keep that up at all times you should be fine. Keep mana spring up at all times too.

What was your raid setup like? Perhaps you didn't have enough healers so you were pulling more weight than you should have to?

Also, you should get the shield from heroic badges and enchant it with +55 spellpower, it is possibly best shield pre-naxx

So i have just dinged 80, and I'm now gearing up for healing naxx.... So, I tried healing Anub'Rekhan, but my mana ran out, to fast!

So, what i wonder is. If you could give me some pointers on how much mp5 i should have, currently at 400 with water shield.

Here's a link to my shaman: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Moonglade&n=Marticon

One of the larger problems I see is the lack of spellpower. You're probably having to cast heals more often because its pretty low for naxx. Shoot for 1500 (with earthliving) and you should be able to heal less often and conserve your mana. You also have a low mana pool, roughly 16000 gives you a great effect from replenishment, so long as you have someone that can give it to you in your raid.

Focus on replacing your 70 armor and getting the proper enchants and soon you won't have any mana problems in naxx. :o (Wyrmrest rep too...its great) Also, kill Mal'ganis on reg strat until he drops Soul Preserver, its a great trinket for mana conservation.

As much as you need to not run out of mana.

I had ~200, including Water Shield, when I started Naxx10. It was enough because I also had a mana pool that reached 21k while raid buffed. It definitely wouldn't be enough with a 16k mana pool.

Exactly how much mp5 you need is a number you need to come up with yourself, because it depends on factors like whether you regularly have replenishment, what kind of healing you're doing, how often you're healing, how much raw mana you have, and how long your fights are.

Personally, I try to collect an mp5 option for every equipment slot because there are typically fights in which you need that much regen. Then there's fights like Loatheb where you barely even need Water Shield.
