Oh yes indeed. Having more Intellect does scale the effect of the procs from Blessing of Sanctuary. Especially given our small mana pool. So stacking it when possible seems at this point a good thing as it adds much to out mana.
I don't think so, really. Whilst we're the only Tanking class who can increase the size of our resource pool via an attribute, I'm not sure if it's worth doing it in anything other than situations that we overgear.
When you're tanking progression content, then you should get a decent-enough mana return from healing, with maybe a JoW/BoS thrown in for good measure.
If we take +intellect items or enchants, it will always be at the detriment to our other stats.
If you had a choice of two items, one with:
+30 Strength
+60 Stamina
+20 Defense Rating
and the other with:
+25 Strength
+51 Stamina
+18 Defense Rating
+20 Intellect
Which one is actually going to make us a better tank? The +Int item will definately help our Soloing, Off-Tanking, and any visits to farm content. That said, the difference in mana return is minimal (the 20 intellect gives +6 mana back per BoS/JoW proc), it'll cost us a fair amount in other stats, which I'm not convinced we can afford to do on progression content. And no other Tanking class will make that sacrifice.

I wouldn't stack Intellect for raids in any way for gear, other than whats provided by buffs to increase it via raid. As you have the benefit of having a healer in such a context.
My context in response refers to Soloing or questing which i do allot of as a Prtection spec.
As your on your own with your own mana regen system as well as gear your using to solo and quest with. Helps some to increase the mana you could get back through talent and spell effect while questing and soloing as things are as of the current build.
The way i'm doing that is by just using a Elixir which i normally don't tend to usually use. But since i make them they are free to me to use :)
Also note that it will proc less when you lose avoidance. 1% mana/proc with 1% less avoidance = more incoming damage, same mana input.
But i haven't done some calculating whether this is relevant or not, just popped into my head
