The thing about LeBlanc is that she has only one rol in the game: assassin. She has no time to invest money in mana regen, she needs power, she needs to get kills. Chalice is, in my opinion, a waste of money. You should get mana regen runes, one or two dorans and you're set. Also, the jungler should always give you blue. And since it's pretty easy for LB to oneshot people early-mid game, the momment you don't have blue buff and the enemy does: go for the kill.

If you're dealing with a pusher with LB, you're fucked. And no mana regen is gonna save you from farming under turret and watch how the enemy roams more tha you and get the kills you should be giving to your allies. That's why Leblanc is better played in ranked or draft mode, because she is a great counterpick but is also counterpickeb by a lot of mages who push the line. Against this champions, you need to harass them early. Poke them lvl 1 and 2 with Q and if they stay around, W. Get a gank, easy kill at lvl3. once they are behind, you just need to zone her. Go farm right behind her minions (get wards to not get ganked) and dodge any skillshots. If they get close to the minions, kill or poke them. Pretty easy since you have your W. That's the only way you can deal with a pusher.

Anyway, some pushers are also anti agression mages, like morgana or galio and won't give a fuck about your burst. They will farm and leave you under turret and all the mana regen in the world won't save you from that. Just don't play LB against that. It hurts.
