Actually, there are still many good pre-6 gankers, espeially within the bruiser/assassin class...they just usually never gank without going b at least once first....Guys like Xin, Vi, Shaco, Lee, Pantheon, etc are still pretty damn good early gankers...

As for Malph's mana, I find that investing in early chalice usually is amost everything needed for mana in the early-mid, so long as you don't use any and all spells whenever they're off cooldown....plus, later-on, you can upgrade to Athene's later if you want some offense, (and in my opinion, Athene's might be one of the best offense items on him) or sell it for something else later....
