Storytelling time!
I took a stroll through the armory earlier today and found THIS mage:

Take note at the talent build. An incanter's absorption build without any regen from arcane meditation.
so, I gave it a whirl, tweaking it and picking up frost warding instead of piercing ice. Took the build to vault and ony gained a small amount of dps.

I guess what i'm really asking is: at what point is the tradeoff of MP5 for crit worthwhile?

With the T9 bonus the 10% extra spirit gives 2% extra crit. This is a rather optimistic number.
3/3 Meditation allows for 300 MP5

The person you are looking at is well geared in t9 content and therefore doesnt need the mana regen. She also uses frost warding which in ToC is like a free mana pot every time you fire/frost ward yourself. 24k mana unbuff is probly 28k in raid and is more than enough to never need evocate. Dont try this build untill your mana is 22k imo, but there is nothing wrong with it.
I got 30.3k mana raid buffed and i wont go without arcane meditation. The bonus/dps i gain with Student of the mind is lacking. Also gear that drops in ToC with Haste isn't really filled with spirit either.
I have 757 Haste and without it i will need to evocate even faster and thats not making the 2 mins mark.
Also not using evocate is not using ur CD's and Heroism well imo.

Maths on this would be nice, im not good with maths.
On heroism i pop everything i have and cast away till the point i need to evocate in the last second of heroism, this saves atleast a bit more than a second of doing non damage.
After evo i keep on using me normal rotation of AB4x to 6x depending on MB following with AM or Abarr depending on MB proc. I never have to go to a lower dps rotation to conserve mana. I have to say the 30.3k mana helps a lot to keep going and im aware not everyone has that amount yet.
Doing this on non interrupted fights ofc like jaxx.
On mirmiron and fights like that evocation during phase changes ofc.
