It really wasn't a mana issue. It was a reactive threat generation one.

I was supposed to be MT, Naava was supposed to be on Hateful Strikes. Since Naava took early aggro, I wasn't getting hit, which meant no Blessing of Sanctuary or Holy Shield damage, which amounts to about 600 threat every time I'm hit. It's almost impossible for me to get above a Rogue on threat unless I'm being hit regularly.

Annoyingly for a class that's supposed to be "superior Off-Tanks", a great chunk of our threat generation is reactive. I think if we do it again, I'm either gonna need to get some time with him before the offtank/melee DPS starts, or sit back and heal whilst letting people with a more proactive threat-generation method step up.
