Yes but what gives you the extra mana if you will be dead, since you are doing less dmg and are more squishy (when compared to Abyssal).

The extra mana is nice, but you can be extreemly effective and rarely oom even without Unholly (and in team fights... Its better to run oom then die).

Also some team compositions really are grate for Swain (like soraka as support), the heal from her will make you almost unkillable for AD carry (since you will have zhonya and the bonus armor from soraka), and her mana regen in team fights is also superb (if she can't silence their AP carry or AD if they have more of a caster AD carry).
