"Assume that it is proper for a necro to cap int first".... yes that would be madness to assume an Int caster should cap his Int first. The erudite will always be the best choice for an Int caster, plain and simple. HP regen is overcome by the leach line of spells and is only a factor in low levels. No matter how you spin it solo gear, raid gear, velious gear, whatever.. the Erudite will have more HP in the end. Which when combined with a conversion of 36 hp to 35 mana, and a hot dot worth 1100hp is worth more than the regen. You don't need to rest for HP as a necro high end, nor do you need to be over 60% hp to pull. You alternate that leach spell in between pulls and are 100%. The only time I see the regen as being worth it is when you have a bad pull and are FD'd. We can argue this all day, but until you've played a necro at lvl 60 you won't know.
