Yes. I posted on this a while back in the Priest forums, but unless you have a massive amount of Int, the cost of proccing Replenishment (VT+MB) will always be higher than the amount of mana you regen from it. As I recall the amount of mana you would need to make proccing Replenishment mana-neutral (i.e. Replenishment gives you the mana it cost to cast it) was something like 25k or 26k, which I think was not anywhere near possible even with the absolute best Priest-equippable gear in the game. Replenishment is there so that you can Replenish you party's or raid's mana... it will always cost more mana for you to cast than you get back from it until you have a massive mana bar.

I don't think we'll be getting there in T8... but maybe by T9 we'll start to see enough mana to make Replenishment mana-neutral, however we'll have so much mana by then it may be possible that Meditation regen will outstrip it, and even so, I have a strong feeling that if it goes mana-neutral, it will get nerfed.
