Arcane Med. or Student of the Mind?

[Awelyn]

This is the build I'm thinking to go with for 10 man raiding and 5 mans.

Between Arcane Meditation and student of the mind, which would it be more beneficial to have 3/3?

I suppose I could always do 2/3 in each.

The issue is where would I get the most benefit out of the points in terms of mana regen?

Well, I may not be a mage, but I've played a caster before. Do you really need that extra 6 yds on arcane spells? You could just take the points from there, and it'd be a simple fix. Think about it; you would need to move forward 6 yds to cast Scorch anyway, right? In a 25-man, I can see the bonus to Amplify/Dampen Magic being great, but in 5 and 10-mans..? I'm not so sure it's worth getting that over 3/3 Student of the Mind.

That actually might not be a bad idea. I wish I could play around with this as opposed to just theorycrafting, heh.
