I use:
Meta - Insightful Earthsiege Diamond
Red Sockets - Runed Cardinal Ruby
Blue when I want the socket bonus - Royal Dreadstone or Dazzling Eye of Zul (I'll usually use a green gem to activate a meta only)
Yellow - Dazzling Eye of (there is no Dana, only) Zul or Reckless Ametrine
I always side on the mana regen and mana pool side if I can, since Shamans tend to do nearly as much over healing as paladins. The Tidal Waves change made that worse with higher LHW crit %... I much preferred the haste effect.

If you never run oom and get more/roughly the same int from the 2% int... sure.

Why do you say that? Isn't
Ember Skyflare Diamond
going to do great if you don't have mana issues?
your Ember Skyflare links to the Earthsiege

From what ive read on various theorycrafts and such, for meta.
Insightful Earthsiege Diamond
is better, believe you need something like 5k int for
Ember Skyflare Diamond
to be better.
As for the various colors....
Red -
Runed Cardinal Ruby
Blue -
Energized Eye of Zul
Yellow -
Quick King's Amber

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I wish we could sticky something here about Insightful/Ember.
You do not need 5k intellect for it to be better.
If you need mana regen = Insightful.
If you do not need mana regen = Ember.
Most people will gem Insightful because it is one of the most potent single-sources of ~mp5. I'd like to say this is because it allows them more freedom with their other gems/gear choices or because they actually know how much regen they need but invariably it is because people keep repeating over and over that you need
X
Intellect for Ember to be better.
This doesn't just come from old EJ data, but from an evaluation based
purely
on their
mana regen
. If you are finishing fights with a lot of mana then you would be better served losing some regen. If you choose to lose the regen from your meta gem then Ember is your #1 choice.
If you finish fights with plenty of mana left over then your regen is too high. The value of additional regen becomes 0. When this occurs the value of the Insightful gem is precisely 3 spell power.
Ember is
equivalent
if you stack an unreachable amount of intellect so that its regen matches Insightful's projected regen. If you have enough regen on all your other gear or from other sources to reduce the value of regen then it can be
ten times better
.
Most
people will not reach that point, let alone recognise that they have.
