Spirit isn't a big deal, and I'm not really having trouble with mana management in general. Instead of charges, I'd rather see more mana per munch. Considering that I generally have ~23K mana when raiding (buffs), 3300-3500 on a mana gem is not a huge amount, even with the 40% buff. Since I'm wearing at least two pieces of T7, I use mana gems as part of my 'blow cooldowns' regimen or if I'm really low and just need a bit more to get the last few hp's on a boss. Otherwise, I just time evocations.
That being said, I'm not having trouble with mana regen lately anyway. I did adjust my rotation to hit a balance of dps without chewing through mana rather than just most dps possible.
(Caveat...if you decide to armory me for some reason, I run arcane for raiding, but I run frost for solo questing. Mana, crit, and sp are higher in my arcane spec.)
