At this point it's probably not worth worrying about. With cannibalizing excess health, a troll will functionally be getting something around 7 mana a tick more than you. But your base barb mana regen will already be about 35 a tick. That's only about 20% increase in mana regen rates. Considering you arent even going to make it to 60, I would wonder if you will ever make up the difference in mana regenration on your would-be-troll to catch up to all the mana you already regenerating on your barb and including all the time leveling up the troll.

There is also the fact that regeneration only gets good in the 50s, and you already eat a 15% greater exp penalty on the troll. Knocking that difference in efficiency down to only around 5%, since you say you will never hit 60 your troll will always be leveling slower. With 5% difference in efficiency it would be reasonable and pertinent to estimate you'd have to play your troll TWO HUNDRED TIMES LONGER than the barb to recoup the losses
