It's not misinterpretation. He simply didn't read the whole thing and cherry picked two numbers.

You wouldn't want to mix mana nukes and boots of bladecalling. You would lose 4 ticks of meditate (80 mana) per 24 seconds (17 clickie cast + 6 second Shock of Steel cast). That means you are spending 328 mana per Shock of Steel essentially, while only getting back 110 from clarity 2 + 100 from meditate over 5 ticks. You would be out of mana after 30 mobs. This is assuming you can perfectly meditate between two mobs.

Shamans can do this due to Torpor.
Do you think it's realistic for that to matter? Most dungeons have 22+ minute spawn timers. In my experience, people mistakenly prioritize dungeons while leveling due to the ZEM but they ignore the fact that the monsters take so long to respawn they're not actually getting better xp.

In the overwhelming majority of dungeon groups I've participated in, if you're churning through mobs too quickly, you hit a dead zone of spawns.
