Reiker pretty much settled the issue for me. If you want to min-max, thinking in terms of "manafree DPS" isn't a good way to analyze it. You should always analyze it in contrast with alternatives, which is what Reiker did.

You can also look at the JBB as being almost 44 DPS (263/6) since you can start the cast during the 2 second after casting a spell. Past that, the math in that post is reliant on being 60 and having torpor, since after all, canni isn't free. If you're already low on health and waiting on regen and aren't exactly loaded on mana, I'd rather be doing a JBB dance than canni'ing myself even closer to death.
And manafree DPS is relevant if you value convenience. If I'm soloing, I can (going to use the blood of saryrn example) do 2324 damage and get the mana back in 30 seconds after canni'ing 6 times and monitoring the med ticks to make sure I sit at the appropriate times to do an efficient canni dance, or I can be watching TV and eating a sandwich while mashing 111 11 111111 1111 11 11 111 1 11. Obviously if you just do that all the time you're failing pretty hard, but added convenience in soloing (something I do a LOT of) has a HUGE value to me, so like I said, it comes down to how you play. The value is in more than just the numbers
