I find the concept actually kind of exciting for two reasons (this is speculative of coarse).

1) I feel that most probably, the damage boost will be substantial at full mana and normalize towards mid-mana ranges. If this is the case, it will allow for one hell of a lot of burst.

2) If the above is true, and we already know that the damage boost is dependant on how much mana the mage has, then we can assume that arcane mages can, in effect, double dip from their gear. Blizzard has already stated that high level gear will start to provide stats that increase mastery effectiveness, so I think it is safe to say that we will see +to mastery on cataclysm teir set items or high level trinkets. As a side effect, the higher the gear level, typically, the higher the intellect stat bonuses, meaning a larger mana pool which ties in very nicely with mana adept.
