Best way to manage mana for a marauder?

I know the blood rage or whatever passive spends life instead of mana, but I don't think I have enough life regen yet. I am currently lvl 54 and am heading towards the other golem passive, until then is there anything that would help with running out of mana?

Use life leach with blood magic.

My lvl 83 Mara has Reduced Mana gem attached to every skill ;-)
When i was your lvl i used blood magic passive skill. In highly 70's i throw it away and start using auras.
Passives decreasing mana usage/reservation are waste of talents for Mara.

I always pick up blood magic passive as early as possible. That way you can focus your gear and other passives on life and you don't need to worry about mana at all.

All you need is a decent health pool and some life on hit or life leech. Having some regen (Troll's Blood or Golem's Blood) is also very helpful.

I will give blood magic passive a try again once I get the other hp regen passive.

2% mana leech is more than enough to keep you going once you do enough damage. I opted out of Mlood Magic because at the time it just didn't appeal to me. I'm running 3 auras right now (all defensive) Vitality, Grace, Determination and sometimes Hatred swapped out for Vitality on easy maps/runs.

How much dmg would you say is sustainable?

Hmmm, I'm sorry I can't quite remember. I THINK it was once I hit 1000+ dps on both Ground Slam and Heavy Strike running a 3L setup early on. Currently running 4L on both and I'm able to leech enough mana no problem (Ground Slam mana cost 46 w/ 2945 dps /// Heavy Strike mana cost 20 w/ 6350 dps)

Ground Slam might be hard to leech early on depending on links. I was using mana potions :)
