Still seem like I'm having mana issues on sustained boss encounters, am I doing something wrong?
With a 5 link Winter Orb setup i see in your char profile is quite normal to get out of mana fast without % lab mana leech enchant on boots or/and -6-7 cost of mana for skills craft on ring.
Get one of those ( %mana leech boots enchant or -cost of mana craft on a ring) or use another staff for bosses and link Winter Orb only to CWDT in it.

Makes sense, thanks for the info.
Which lab gives the mana leech enchant for boots?

Even the cruel lab version is enough sustain, however bear in mind there are 2 versions: one is increased regen after being hit which is better for single target situations, and % damage leech if you've killed recently which is better for general use, not so much for bossing
You don't really need the -mana cost unless you want to run a 5L or 6L WO-GMP setup for mapping.
I use a 4L setup and just switch spell cascade with conc for bosses. Not really comfortable with missing out on lvling 6 gems simultaneously, especially since i'm trying to get to 100.
And, on most map bosses I don't even put conc in.
I think the only real reason why you might want a - mana cost ring is if you use a self-cast setup and farm atziri/uber atziri all day all night. Short of that, spell cascade clears just fine.
I never run out of mana even if arcane surge isn't up.
You are right, I put one of the -6 mana unique ring on, & I need 2 Frost Bomb to triggered Arcane surge, so I guess I pass this mod.
About Watchers Eye, which stat is more important for Uber Elder?
+(20-30) Energy Shield gained for each Enemy Hit while affected by Discipline
or
(20-30)% increased Energy Shield Recovery Rate while affected by Discipline
I cant afford a Watchers Eye with both.
Energy Shield Recovery Rate is better for bosses including UE and Energy Shield for each Enemy hit is better for multiple targets (Delvre , Mapping, Temple, etc)
