2 Piece T10 and mana issues?

I just got my second piece of T10 and got the
2 piece bonus
. While it's an amazing bonus and has upped my dps considerably, I was wondering if anyone had mana issues with it?
Generally
Divine Storm
is used every 10 seconds at 12% mana cost. Now I find myself spamming it every time it lights up. I've seen back to back to back procs sometimes, can get anywhere from 2-3 procs in between each judgement.
I've only tried this new bonus with ICC 10, but I was having some decent mana issues especially if I spam it each time it lights up. Anyone else experience this? According to EJ, DS beats out even Crusader strike on the priority list after you get the 2 piece T10 bonus. It just feels like Judgements don't come fast enough now.

All I can really think of is to remember to use DP and JoW.

I'm finding I need to be slightly more aggressive in using DP. Before I got the two piece, I was sort of ignoring it until I had a spare GCD anyway. Now if I'm casting Cons or Exo, it gets replaced by DP, and if I really start to lose mana, CS gets replaced as well.
Also, judge critters between trash pulls. Makes heroics bearable.

You're saying you didn't judge critters before T10 2/5? D:<

Another thing I should probably mention: I took Divine Intellect, since I take Aura Mastery and was unimpressed with the alternatives for filler. If you don't have it, that might make it a little harder to keep your mana up.

In my Aura Mastery spec I have 6109 mana(10int from nightmare tear, 10% int from Divine Intellect).
In my 5/7/59 spec I have 5929 mana.
That means as a Ret Paladin, Divine Intellect is worth 12 Int.
It's not going to stop you from going OOM when DS spamming. Just make sure you keep using Divine Plea, and Arcane Torrent if you're a Blood Elf.

Yup, never had to spam it before but now they are constantly on CD. That and I drink between pulls a lot more now.
On a side note, anyone notice that it sometimes bugs and doesn't allow you to use DS for a split second or two? Between procs, sometimes it feels like my action bar is stuck and I can't do any abilities. Is this a bug of the 2 piece set?

The little cooldown gray area deal doesn't respond well to the GCD, I've found.
I've never been unable to act when outside of the GCD, but sometimes the DS button tells me I'm outside of the GCD.

I just spam the button when I see its available. Dont know if theres a better way.
Its because the 2p T10 resets divine storms CD to zero, overwriting the GCD. But you are still on the GCD.
(happens when the proc comes right after you use divine strom, which is in fact pretty often)

meh... come on... i only ever have trouble with mana when on the dummy + using consecration.
something is very wrong, also in 10man you should have next to no probs with mana when popping DP when all else is on CD. in 25man you completely forgo the DP and just nuke the hell out of ^&*!.

2 pc T10 totally nuked my mana.
I have my CS and DS binded to my mouse wheel, and I'm just spamming that 24/7...before I know it, DS has proc'd like 10 times and I'm OOM -.- Can't complain tho.. :)

Do you have 2pc T10? Then you should be running into mana problems unless your priority list is off-kilter. JoW instead of JoL helps, but it doesn't completely cover it.
Check my gear...

He's got 4 piece T10.
Dunno how you guys don't see
ANY
mana issues. I have to pop my DP, mana pots, arcane torrent, etc AND drink each pull to keep my mana up.
Perhaps some people don't spam it as much as the folks who are seeing mana issues are.

Jow first before you get to the mob you will be able to use it before you get into melee range. Then Ds,Cs, if no reset has happened then DI and keep in up on ever Cd that it has.
Honlessly its not that hard facerolling as a ret just need to know what you need to do. I have had my 2 peice for a few monthes now and have no mana problems with me now having my 4 peice.
The only issue that I have is aggro as I build alot of aggro and tend to surpass tank's in 5 mans. Have no problems in raids with aggro.
