Mao had mana issues while jungling, he needed blue at first and later a mana item (usually Frozen Heart) to solve them, while now he can even give every single blue, first one included, to the mid laner and go without buying mana ever (tough that would mean getting at 20% cdr at most, from Spirit Visage and Locket of the Iron Solari I guess). Sure, the 150% mana regen from items is great, I'm not denying it, but by personal experience Meditation is awesome on every champion who uses mana a lot, and Mao is one of them (also because Merciless isn't that great on a tank, I'd say).
