Considering the mana cost/duration of their heavier dots and factoring those in with what self-only mana regen/theft options exist for the class...
8 (Soul Defiler) 2 (Crown of Narandi) 1 (Coldain Shawl) = 11 mana per tick.
Swapping in an Essence Blade would add 80 mana per proc...altogether enough blue stuff replenished for one, possibly two of the medium/heavy dots to be cast consistently and Shroud of Death would more or less offset Soul Defiler's negative recourse effect.
Mind buffs would be comparable to that gear...
2 (GoB) 6 (PotG) 11 (C2) = 19 mana per tick...and even better with a Bard present.
Assuming all of those buff window decorations stack, just to put things into perspective.
