Druid, mana regeneration question

Currently my wife and i play 2v2. Fury warrior and resto druid. We both know our classes well and generally do pretty good in arena's. We do not claim to be great, we just have fun.
My question:
Should i be focusing more on spirit than i do? Read the statements below before making a comment.
Currently we are around 1600 rating and gaining more points every week. I have been avoiding gear with spirit on it. This is the priority i have been using when gearing (im the resto druid).
Resil > intellect > haste > crit > spirit
Hit and spell pen are pretty easy to get.
In our matches, i am usually not running low on mana. I am smart with innervate, i try to cc more than i heal. And normally dont run out of mana. However, there are times when matches run really long (vs a dk/druid) and i start running dry. But these are matches that usually last 10+ minutes. Just out of curiosity i looked at other resto druids that are in the top of the battle groups. They are gearing with spirit being higher on priority. And running with tons of spirit.
I was wondering what some (experienced!) resto druids have to say about this?
With my priority i am getting a lot of haste and getting faster heal ticks and more ticks which equals mana efficiency.
Right now, i feel like i do NOT have a problem with mana, but i am looking for some resto druids that have a lot of experience in the upper brackets.
Thanks in advance!

Theres a reason that rdruids are often part of outlast comps, and 47minute matches are not unheard of.
Actually i believe 47 minute matches are unheard of. I think the time limit is 45 minutes, at that point you are kicked from the arena. We have had a couple matches like that, where i am still at 70%+ mana.

The armory post doesn't matter because i told you that i am not running any spirit gear. And when i mean 0 spirit gear i mean, no spirit from gear at all. I have decided to start getting spirit gear. The last 4 matches we have played we lost because i would oom to early, however, the other healer was oom as well. But still, i think that having more spirit in the upper level brackets looks mandatory. I just need to try and outlast the other healer in these circumstances and when double dps comes out of the gates, i just need to focus on keeping us alive through the bursts. Both of these instances makes spirit look better and better to me. Thanks for all the input.
