Will of the Ancients is probably a better (or at the very least, safer) option than stark's fervor. Many AD carries have at least some spammable harass ability (Volley, Buckshot, Peacemaker) that is made more spammable by the extra mana from infuse, so they can heal back through spell vamp instead of lifesteal. On top of that, you can heal yourself with starcall. This way, both of you have a constant heal effect which allows you to save your astral blessing for emergencies, as opposed to Stark's, which gives only your laning partner a reliable heal effect. Also, if you're insisting upon the "mage top, mage mid" meta, then WotA makes more sense for the inevitable teamfight phase than Stark's.
