An increase to the mana cost helps to compensate for the buff to his early game, this means trading is more mana intensive and cannot be done as much, it is however much less risk free, because it doesn't give your lane opponent a free initiate for a fight. Basically, less trading, but more effective. Also, especially since the mobi boot nerfs, though I've always done so, I've seen a rise in CDR boots for him. This makes that long CD on his E much more negligible, though most Talons don't try to trade whenever his E is up.
