Light Sorc Mana/Life skill distribution question

Hi,

I am building my first PvM Light sorc, if you read my other thread, I'm using:

Griffon
4 piece tal set (armor/orb/ammy/belt)
2x soj
Magefist
Trek
Lidless (considering Spirit)
15/19 torch
anni

Merc: Infinity

I'm confuse on how much mana will I need to kill effecitively in hell with out continously mana pot. Chain Light cost 50 mana per shot and right now I have 700 mana with the above setup. I only have 450 life though and am very fragile. Ofcourse I still have like 250+ points not use yet. I don't use insight and Light sorc is espeically mana hungry. My question is to all experienced Light sorc, how much mana do you need? how much life is good?

I'm currently planning to socket orb/armor/helm with jewel that add mana and mana/kill, together with using +5 mana/kill lidless, I should have +20mana/kill which I think should over my mana use. But I really want to use spirit too .

Comments.

Do you go ES route or vitality? If its ES, then dont bother about mana, all stat points goes to energie. If you go pure vitality, then I think you will need to pot from time to time, coz you are not using insight.

I'm pure Light and no ES. Meaning I guess I better experiment with different level of mana before making my decision. Any more recommendations?
