What pve nerfs ? A single mana totem is barely under 4 old version totems... Now you can have mana / healing / cleansing up at all times and to make up for the difference pop thunderstorm. Before 3.1 ThunderStorm is really never used for mana regen untill you hit 25man boss fights and then it is more a cushion than a NEED.
