There are a variety of ways to solve the intense mana cost of Rejuvnation or Devouring Totem in a 6-link. The most ideal is generally the Slavedriver's Gloves from Atzoatl which allow you to pay life. Alternately, you can run Eldritch Battery and pay with energy shield. You can even link a Lifetap.
However for Pathfinders, there is another method - massive mana cost reduction. I'm in a small private league and thus the Atzoatl gloves are out of the question. I tried EB a couple different ways and wasn't satisfied with how it felt.
The strategy for mana cost reduction I've used is pure mana cost reduction. I am currently running 6 of these, which gets my mana cost down to about 7 mana where my natural regen can keep up.
Note that currently PoB doesn't properly calculate costs affected by the Life mastery option. It is a little bit off, so verify everything in-game.
For my build's cost reduction I'm running a flask, timeless jewel, life mastery, mana mastery, an amulet with double cost reduction, and one rare jewel. This brings me down to about 9 mana per cast, which I can easily sustain off natural mana regeneration.
So if you don't like designing around energy shield regen, spamming life flasks with zealot's oath, or spending big for the gloves, give this a try!
