Down Time between fights

I'm finding it very annoying that I have to wait so long between the fights.
If I empty my magica, even with ~85 magica regen it takes a long time between the fights.
This is with my dragon knight character.
Seems to me that magica / hp / stamina should regenerate a lot faster outside of combat.
After a fight where all the magica has been depleted and you want to move on to the next group, you've got to wait for like 15-25 seconds or something. That's a lot of waiting in the end. It adds up to a lot of my game time just simply being waiting to be able to do something again. Feels a bit like and old mmo like wow was for sorcerers between fights.
I know sorcs has an ability that gives them magica, this makes their overal downtime a lot lower. My night blade can use siphoning strikes to ~maintain magica / stamina.
For my dk however it's just stand there and look at the next mobs you want to engage and wait.. so much waiting instead of playing

Depends on the mobs, sometimes a group of 3 can take a lot of magica, sometimes I can take on 1-3 groups before I need to really wait for magica. Sure if I use ulti every now and then it goes better with the magica regen but usually I save it up for some nice moment.
In any case, when these down times strike you, that's 15s you do not get back, after a pack or two of mobs and in the long run that's a lot of time.
Why should any class have to deal with this?
Why not simply increase regen out side of combat.
Edit: You do know dk's been nerfed? Thou they are still strong. However it's the downtime of the game between fights this post is about. It's boring and annoying and has to be annoying for more players out there.Edited by IceDread on July 28, 2014 12:58PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I have found that once I got more efficient at DPS for Mana spent, I spend less time waiting for Mana to recharge between battles. I also get enough Mana Potions that I have hot keyed those and chug one after a battle if I feel the need to.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
