60 pally here. The size of your mana pool does not matter unless you know for sure you're going to spend a lot of time raiding Velious content. That's because your groups are going be eating a shitload of AoEs, and every extra point of mana is critical because it means more HoTs you can cast. Paladins HoTs are actually pretty efficient and having a large mana pool means being able to cast more of them to keep your groups topped off. However, if you do not plan to do Velious raiding then who cares.

No doubt onelast 700hp HoT saved a raid somewhere, somewhen, once, maybe. Or maybe kept somebody alive one more second so the last living cleric could actually log out for recovery after the wipe. There were dozens of EQ servers after all. But seriously? Does your guild check whether its paladins are FM before a pull?
No offense intended, you've posted a fair bit of good stuff to the forums. But I just don't see meaningful value to a little bit of extra max mana (a max of 20 wis is less than one cast of Celestial Cleansing) on a char the raid leaders are thinking of primarily as a Divine Strength buffbot.
