You have dispel every ten seconds ^^
Anyways, more or less mana, it doesn't matter that much, sooner or later you will have to use either a mana drain spell or ambitious, that ~10 seconds you earn with high mana doesn't make much of a difference  .
I'd rather skill lvl 5 energy borrow if I were you, than all those spells like mana pool and dragon's blood on lvl 5, it's more fun draining mana from an enemy to re-fill your pool  |
Dispel costs 210 mana itself, and if there is more than 1 person using it (there usually is in my experience), it's impossible to keep it dispelled.
Like I said, I'm always spamming sacrifice anyways, so I may as well have a larger mana pool so I don't waste as much overflow. It's also convenient for when sanct is up and you can't regen mana. Having a large mana pool also increases your natural mana regen rate (if only slightly, but I still think it's helpful.)
EB has too long of a cd for my tastes, and depends on the enemy having a relatively full mana pool to be effective. The one benefit it has imo is that it isn't affected by darkness or confuse; but then, what good is mana if I can't cast anything else anyways? (I have no mental)
