The only things that could become problematic with %mana restoration being added are his lane and teamfight power, mainly it's impact on Mao in lane. Since Sap Magic charges on any spell cast Mao would basically never run out of mana against a large amount of champions (particularly mages) allowing him to bully with his spells.

While it'd be a great addition for Mao in the jungle it'd create a terrible game scenario for Mao in a lane. So I guess some numbers would need to be reduced (like Sapling Toss's damage) but then it'd make Mao weaker in the jungle, where he's extremely average.
