>>Vs critters without shield, slightly overhunting, my fully targeted 40 mana burn consistently performs as well or better than 15-18 PD. This could be because the mana is overcoming the MR penalty that I see in PD, especially since I notice a drastic difference as I lower the mana in burn.

This is most likely the case. Mana does not have a direct effect on accuracy where MR is not involved. Where MR is involved, mana reduces the penalty rather than providing a bonus. Semantics? Possibly, but a very important distinction nonetheless.

That being said, when I get my fingers into the TM system rewrite a bit later this year the MR penalty to TM spells will be capped at the 'unTARGETed' level instead of potentially reducing accuracy to zero (and below!).
