I can't see how it would make him unstoppable. Early game, when he likely has less than 1k mana, that'd be around (I'm guessing) 30-40 mana regain per proc at the five percent mark. Even then, consider how often it's likely to happen. Smart foes early game know when and when not to make use of their skills, so I can't see any sort of extreme spamming of spells happening. Even then, 30-40 isn't likely to frequently stave off his steep costs completely.

Mid to later game, yeah, he could prolly pick up around 100 mana per hit easily, and proc it often with all the abilities flying around, but I think at that point the main concern would be casting all of your shit instead of focusing on auto-attacks. In that case, you prolly wouldn't be proccing it that often, especially for the mana to do much outside of somewhat slowing down your mana drain.

Stronger? It's likely. But certainly not any of that "OP" or other hyperbolic bullshit.
