Nashors tooth is not viable on any ap carries, and AA is viable on like two, and thats being generous. Nobody gets Lichbane for its mana boost, that's really just a fringe benefit.

So that leaves RoA and MET as the only two viable ap carry items to genuinely help out with mana sustain.

MF has mana problems? You do not need to spam Q every time someone gets in range, in fact, in lane its bad because they'll be able to heal it. Use abilities to harass sparringly, rather save them for sealing kills. The last mana-centric AD item was Manamune. It's garbage and the ultimate AD carry noob trap. Ad carries don't need mana over time, they need AD and crit chance asap in order to farm better, harrass stronger, and kill quicker. Manamune does not help this at all.
