First of all, screw wisdom. It does you almost no good, especially in the early levels where you're pretty much always just medding up just enough to kill the next mob. Your mana pool is irrelevant when you're fluctuating between 0 and 50% mana at all times. It doesn't make you level faster, it doesn't make you kill things faster, and it doesn't make you take less damage. These are the only things that matter while leveling.

Err, having a bigger mana pool helps all the time. If you get adds its nice to have that extra cushion to be able to kill 2 monsters at once.
I also would not recommend soloing as a caster. Downtime is terrible. If you have a melee or pet class with you to take the hits you can med while your dots go to work and pretty much constant pull. Caster melee is pathetic anyway, and even moreso considering you would be doing 100/tick damage with just your envenomed breath/scourge active. Ignoring wis and going for hp/ac will not help you level faster, and will probably result in more deaths.
