First of all, I don't know where you are getting your numbers from, but any single cast of the ult is going to deal at MAX 360 + 6% max mana. Even with 3000 mana, that's only an additional 180 for a grand total of 540 damage from your ult in a single cast. You can obviously cast it again, but if you used your ult getting into the fight and miss your W... well 3k mana won't be enough to save your butt from the pounding it's about to receive. This doesn't apply as much if you tele from base, but relying on your ult for damage, as has been said, is foolish. Any champ with a resistance item will negate at least 1/3 of the damage even with a penetration item, meaning you are back to doing 360 tops. If you are crazy enough to even try double tear to get 4k mana, you won't make it to late game unless the other team is far worse than you are.

Second, the range on your ult is small. Assume melee range. So the chance of you dealing damage with it is low to begin with.
