I've honestly never had serious mana problems on Nidalee.

I just start with Doran's, harass with auto-attacks, and land spears when I can. The only time I really use mana in lane is when I go to trap the brush or heal from a bad trade.

After the laning phase ends, I stay in cougar form half the time, only leaving to drop a trap or get a random snipe on an enemy.

You can go for Arch on Nidalee; after all, she does charge it like crazy, but that either means you're going to be glass cannon and avoid your cougar form abilities, or you're going to go for a full Blitz/Ryze-style mana build, which would be absolutely weird on Nidalee. ._.
