Re: implementation, I think the solution could be to simply display the numbers on abilities directly. By contrast, having a specific scaling for a stat can be difficult to guess unless you check the wiki or do measurements yourself. In either case, most of this boils down more to adjustability versus consistency (a specific Spirit scaling would allow some effects to have great bases and less scaling than others).

Re: regen, I was thinking more about health regen than mana regen, as mentioned in my post below, but mana regen could perhaps work. I generally don't like mana-related itemization, and I don't think supports really need to be mana-based, so converting either stat into Spirit could help shift even more power in those items towards supporting, and away from general caster bonuses.
