"Something I was wondering about is what happens to the mana gains from Masochism if the shadow priest was bubbled? Does it count as the damage being "taken" or is the mana just lost?"

If the SW:D backlash damage is entirely absorbed/resisted, then Masochism does not return any mana to you.

I'm from the "I never run low on mana, ever" camp, and SW:D on cooldown is what puts me there. Even with near perfect uptime on my Shadowfiend (I actually have had the cooldown come up before the old one stopped attacking) due to high gear levels, my mana will still inch downwards if I forget SW:D. It may have fallen behind Mind Flay with the recent nerfs, but using it for mana will always be valid, because I'm certain it's less of a damage loss than Dispersion for mana purposes would be.
