Aha, found the relevant patch note:
* Spell Mana Costs: These costs have been reduced for almost all lower level spell ranks. In general, if a spell decreased in cost with a higher level rank in patch 3.2.0, that spell now has the decreased cost at all ranks. In addition, spells learned before level 20 with reduced cast times and/or durations have even further reduced mana costs, proportionate to their reduction in cast time or damage.
The way I read this is that in my example above, HoW would be 12% base mana across the board, and things like fireball for mages (which has a shorter cast time on ranks 1-4) would have even cheaper of a mana cost; i.e. 19% for ranks 5-16 (instead of 23% for most of those ranks) and maybe as cheap as 9-10% for rank one, etc.
